Justin Gatlin fully expects ailing world record holder Usain Bolt to be ready for another 100 metres showdown at the Rio Olympics.
“We’re going to see his face in Rio one way or another,” American world silver medallist Gatlin said at the U.S. Olympic trials on Saturday.
“Crazy stuff always happens in an Olympic year,” said Gatlin, who narrowly lost to Bolt in the 2015 world championships 100m.
“The mystery of the Olympics is in the air. It is full of dreams and sometimes dreams don’t come true. But come on, man, he’s Usain.”
“It’s a tradition,” former U.S. World champion Tyson Gay said of Bolt bouncing back from previous injuries. “2012, last year ... I know he is going to come back strong.”
