At an age when athletes in most sports are considering retirement, U.S. sprinter Justin Gatlin is hitting his stride better than ever.
At the U.S. Track and Field Trials on Sunday in Eugene, Oregon, 34-year-old Gatlin qualified for the Olympics by running the men's 100-meter final in 9.80 seconds. Not only did he win the race, he recorded the fastest time by anyone in the world thus far this year.
