Who is Ronnie Baker's wife Mikaela Harrison? Sprinter celebrated 1st anniversary in March
American professional track and field athlete Ronnie Baker is in contention to be the fastest man in the world at the Tokyo Olympics. Usain Bolt — largely considered the greatest sprinter of all time and a world record holder in the 100 meters, 200 meters, and 4 × 100 meters relay — not competing in the Games following an early retirement has left this crown up for grabs.
Competing in the 100 meters final alongside Baker at The Games are China’s Su Bingtian, Lamont Marcell Jacobs of Italy, South Africa’s Akani Simbine, Fred Kerley, also from the US, Great Britain’s Zharnel Hughes, Canada’s Andre De Grasse, and Nigeria’s Enoch Olaoluwa Adegoke.

I think back over the last year and the tough times you’ve had to endure. It showed me how strong you are, while also exposing some areas of weakness in my life. Over the year I’ve learned that exposure isn’t always bad, it’s a way to find areas you can grow... if you’re willing to humble yourself. From your strength you’ve helped me to start a process of being a better husband, son, brother, business partner, leader, and friend!”
On Instagram, Mikaela shared their wedding photo and wrote, “Every morning is a blessing when I get to wake up next to you. you’re my rock, my freedom fighter, my best friend, and I’m just so thankful for you babe. Thank you for winning in every arena of life for us.”
