I noticed that Gatlin’s 9.87 sec post race comments were pretty cocky. It was great to see him back and opening up this fast, but Powell is one thing, Bolt, Blake and a healthy Gay are different animals all together. None of those guys are going to fold up their tent over that last 40m like Powell when things get serious.
Given what Gatlin is battling back from I love the mindset, but publicly declaring them. It wouldn’t be my approach…but then again I’m not a former Olympic Champion.
It’s going to be a great sprint year if everyone can stay healthy. Please, please, please stay healthy!
