If you look at the broader picture, Julien Alfred should win hands down for the females. ATHLETE OF THE YEAR is the title. Julien won the World's Indoor 60m, The Olympic 100m Gold and the Olympic 200m Silver medal. Paulino, Kipyegon and Sydney more or less focused on only one event.
Cant just give it to the 100m winner. Thats nonsense. Whats the point in having the award if all events don't have a fair chance. Bad take from you coach.
