This man is my favorite track and field personality ever! Loved his convo w his mother! The finding out he’s a size 9 but thinking he was 11-12 most of his life being heart broken and happy at the same time makes sense! Big anime fan myself and he’s fast af and likes to show off! Flashy guys always over humble and complacent guys!
