I admire Gatlin, he is my idol in the world of sports and track and field, he is a true competitor, a warrior, I admire him as a person and an athlete, he thrilled the 100m event since his comeback in 2010, the clashes between him and Bolt, wow amazing.... coming back after bans at 28 and now 34 and still competitive.
Near gold last year in Bejing and silver in Rio. He said in two recent interviews on youtube he will take year by year, he plans to go to Tokyo 2020, he will probably pull out of 200m and dedicate only on 100m and relays he said. He says clear in this interview he wants to push forward 3-4 years with the goal of Tokyo 2020. I am thrilled and happy to see him still for a long time in the sport. He will be 38 years old on 2020, will be able at that age to take gold or at least to go to the podium? The next year will be the last for Bolt, on 2020 there will be Bromell, Degrasse, Blake and others...Go Gatlin!
