Kellerman didn’t think that the title was deserved by Usain Bolt. But he didn’t agree for it to be  Woods either. He said that Bolt couldn’t be the deserving athlete as he is a sprinter, and most sprinters according to Kellerman are “failed football and basketball players”. The veteran also claimed that football and basketball have the best athletes. He said, “Track and field stars are usually failed football and basketball players.
