I don't think anyone has a chance against bolt. He's on another level. I'll be rooting for Gatlin though. Always pull for my vols!

Gatlin and Bolt were neck and neck last year in Bejing, had Gatlin kept his form towards the end he may have beaten him. Bolt beat him by .01 seconds.

Bolt probably could have 9.4 four years ago.

I expect him to run 9.7 and win another gold.

Still awesome to see a vol legend take on the great Usain Bolt.

Yep, and it's entirely possible he really diidnt knowingly take a PED. The stuff that they can't have is ridiculous.

Maybe but as Americans we didn't accept the ignorance excuse from Ben Johnson in '88. I tend to think he did know what he was doing but like has been said before, he has served his time. I hope Gatlin gets it done. Bolt could use some humble pie.

He's only ran a sub 9.8 2x since setting the WR; Gatlin has done it 6x in the last 2 years alone. No doubt Bolt held back last night but I think Gatlin is stronger than he was in 2012.

I understand Gatlin has run the fastest 100 in the world so far this year. Bolt reportedly was lightly injured a few months ago. Who knows lots of posturing by these sprinter prima donna types. Bolt is old flor a sprinter, already said he's hanging 'em up, does he overcome the pain and win? Gatlin's hungry and is the new IT guy, Im going with Gatlin. It will be a sub 10 winner, you can bet your last money on that!
