This is his family.
Kalen Walker has got very supportive parents, Ian and Christina!
Kalen Walker parents, Ian and Christina Walker could not be any more proud as the senior sprinter has won the men's 100 meter dash in UFS.

a lot of people here won't like this one bit - but the fact remains, a young lad of Sudanese parentage but born here in 2007 (and sounding just as Aussie as the next guy) just ran the 4th fastest 200 ever recorded by an Australian. Could possibly take down Peter Norman's 56 year record of 20.06 while still a junior since he is still 16. Little doubt he will spend a future on the 2nd leg of our 4 x 100m relay team
A legal 20.29 makes him world 2024 under 18 leader and 4th world all-time.
I noted Brit, Thomas Somers, is still world number 6 all-time with his 20.37 at Eugene in 2014; he badly injured his hamstring the next year 2015 and in 10 years of competing since has never beaten 20.62.
What a disappointment for a 17 year old running that time a decade ago and never matching it. It's a tough sport.
