I remember it too. I knew it would be a top tier final when I learned Asafa Powell finished 3rd in his semi final and was not an auto qualifier for the final. I knew we had an epic final coming up then.

Greatest ensemble of sprinters they’ll ever be-5 of the fastest men in history. I was 21 years old, man. Nostalgia 💪🏽

I played basketball with Justin once. Just a pickup game at the rec. I can't explain to y'all how fast that man is. We're all athletes out there, and we get on a fast break, and we're trucking as fast as we can, and Justin comes FLYING past us, and the dude was f*cking jogging. Zero effort, zero strain, literally jogged past us sprinting. I had a classmate who played WR for the Seahawks for several years, and we thought he was blazing fast. Justin makes NFL wide receivers look slow.

Jamaicans were only ever afraid of two men in the 100s and the 200s Gatlin and Gay. In the years where Gatlin was on suspension, Gay was the only person stopping us from dominance. In the womens we had Jeter, Richards-Ross and Felix that always made us nervous. Wwhat a time to be alive and witness all these great athletes.

I don’t think you guys know how big the 100 meter in London was, because of what bolt did in Beijing and his rise to literally a god that made sprinters scared of him. Everyone was tuned in to see if bolt can perhaps break the record or even win 4 years later. The fact that he was number 1 in the world of sprinting but got beat by yohan and disqualified also add to the doubts and anticipation. The London Olympics stadium energy was loud as hell, sprinting is extremely difficult to stay consistently good at most less win, because if your nervous you won’t execute your race in good form and spirit. Powell does well in diamond leagues when no other top sprinters in the race, he seems to falter in big races, if you look at some of his race he suddenly slows down for no reason and gets beaten. He claims he had no psychological issue but something was wrong with his mental Then the semi finals had guys causally dropping 9.8s and slowing down before the line. Gatlin said lebron, Kobe and all the other basket team ran into the stadium to see the race. Which just shows how anticipated it was. Bolt became even more ridiculously popular after that feat.

I have always had so much love and admiration for Justin. Ever since he came to Jamaica at the Douglas Forest track meet. The Jamaica vs. USA is always a vibes.

I have so much respect for Justin Gatlin. Gracious in defeat, humble in victory!

Justin you are easily one of my fav track athletes of all time. I love watching your channel and stories. You and Bolt were in a world of your own when you had those race against each other and it was amazing to watch. I get goosebumps every time I see you come out of the outside and winning that last race of his. The respect you showed after is the best part. True sportsman. Keep it up bro thank you for your contributions 🇺🇸. Love from Montana.

From Jamaica - shout out to Gatlin from an admirer of an overcomer! Keep on doing you, and I hope all the very best for you going forward. Is a book in the works? You have a wonderful story to tell.

Respect and one love to you brother Gatlin ! I loved to hate you back then 😅. You know what I always imagined…. What would be the time on a 4x100m with these guys on the same team. I hope we will be treated to this intense level of competition again ! Magical ! 🇺🇸 🇯🇲 🇺🇸🇯🇲 🔥🔥🔥

Glad to have watched it at my aunt's house, I'll never forget that Olympics, thank you Sir Gatlin

I was in Belgium when that race was been run or whatever! Hours glued to the set when the 100m was in focus because I knew during my lifetime I would never see a greatest assemble of champions running this race. It was incredible from the levels of dominance of prepping and the power displayed during those heats till the final. It was great to see. No matter what thank you gentlemen thank you for a great race!

I love the competitive nature of this guy.

Hallo Gentlemen, this is a breath of fresh air from the European commentators that have always wanted to pit brother against brother in people from the carribean islands and the USA. I have been coaching for a long time and I love your objectivity regardless of where you hail from. Keep up the good work gentlemen. As for Justin Gatlin, you still hold a very special place in my heart because only Linford Christy has done what you have. The button change over in the 4x100m in both USA men and women’s teams have been the USA’s Achilles tendon. Granted, you can play with athletes in minor competitions but when it comes to the Worlds, let alone the Olympics, you don’t mess us up by trying with error methods. Thank you gentlemen for being non partisan in your discussions and deliberations.

Easily the greatest 100m ever, no doubt! Classic.

This was an epic race... Watched all of it from semis. Truly lived up to the hype

That 100m final was absolutely awesome indeed. I wouldn't exactly say that Blake took off. He was slightly faster than you in the latter part of the race, but not that much faster. Usain absolutely took off. The 5 fastest man ever in that race and 3 of them pretty close to their peak form (you, Usain and Yohan Blake). Gay wasn't as fast as in 2009, otherwise I think he would have got 2nd place. Asafa too wasn't as fast as in 2008 (his peak) but he was still decent, though he chocked in any major event, so nothing new there.

The best approach its to be slow to judge and get all the facts first and I'm not sure about Gatlins case but Im speaking in general for the sports community. But *as a person who was tested multiple times and never failed* I want to let people know and make them aware that you can fail athletic drug test by simply taken a multivitamin, overcounter drugs, or certain minerals* *The testing list for the Olympics, NCAA, NFL, NBA, or any sports institution has many restrictions or band substances* and most products at the store dont list all the ingredients and they advise us to not use or limit things from GNC or consuming unknown foods or using extreme diets because it can negatively affect your test. *I have seen people fail just by taking things from GNC, herbal shops, and overcounter products*
