A better late than never Olympic gold dfor Kerron Clement

By Chris Nickinson

No, Kerron Clement didn't come out of retirement last year. He just took a little longer to reach the top of the mountain.

It had been 11 years since he broke Michael Johnson's indoor 400m record and 8 since he took home silver in the 400m hurdles at the Beijing Olympics. On August, 18 2016 Kerron Clement finally got that elusive Olympic gold medal
