EUGENE, Ore. – Even when a bystander for the men's 100 meters, as will be the case at this week's USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships, Justin Gatlin still feels the nervousness and anxiety of pre-race competitiveness.
"Even when I'm not even watching it live, or at home, I feel the butterflies," Gatlin said. "I feel the adrenaline rush."
Those jitters will be unfounded, if entirely unavoidable.
