Gatlin Getting Facety With Bolt

[Derek]

Last month he suggested the world had become bored of the "Bolt show" and was now ready for Justin Time.

"We're going to go down there to take on the Jamaicans and anybody else who stands in our way," he declared.

"So if it's going to be three Jamaicans in our way or the whole world in our way, that's what it's going to take to get around that and get that gold medal."

<span style="font-weight: bold">Bolt's reaction? &quot;I don't want to sound rude but I think Gatlin's had his chance,&quot; the world record holder said. &quot;He's been on top, but to say 'Get ready for the Gatlin show' is funny.&quot;</span>

To which Gatlin, 30, countered: &quot;I didn't know there was a professional chance counter in our sport.&quot;

I hope he can run his legs better than he run his mouth because he is no Mohammed Ali.

EUGENE, Oregon (AFP) — Maurice Greene, the 2000 Olympic 100-metre champion, sees Usain Bolt as “dangerous”, but not as fit as in 2008 and said yesterday he expects a dramatic 100-metre final at the London Olympics.
Two days after 2004 Olympic champion Justin Gatlin and 2007 world champion Tyson Gay booked 100m berths at London for an expected showdown with reigning Olympic champion Bolt, Greene sized up the men who followed in his footsteps.
BOLT... faces Jamaican Olympic Trials this weekend

“The race in London is going to be a lot closer than a lot of people think,” Greene said. “It’s going to be a really exciting race.”
Speaking on a rest day at the site of the US Olympic Track and Field Trials, Greene, who turns 38 next month, said he does not see Bolt lowering his world record of 9.58 seconds from Berlin in 2009.
“I’m going to tell you right now, he can’t do that,” Greene said.
Greene, a US sprint legend whose nickname was the “Kansas Comet”, is proof that an Olympic can match his time from four years earlier, however. Greene won gold at Sydney in 9.87 and took bronze in 2004 at Athens in the same time.
“He has done it before so you have to prepare accordingly,” Greene warned Olympic sprinters. “If you want the gold, you have to be prepared to go to that area.”
Bolt will not lack motivation at London simply because he already won Olympic gold, and in overwhelming fashion, at Beijing, according to Greene.
Greene cited Bolt’s false start disqualification in last year’s 100m world final as enough inspiration to make him a foe to fear in the London final.
“Usain is talking about his legacy,” Greene said. “He wants to prove he should have won when he was knocked out. I don’t think he would have won. I know when someone has something to prove, he is dangerous.”
Bolt, 25, faces the Jamaican Olympic Trials this weekend at Kingston, but the 2008 Olympic 100 and 200 champion and reigning world 200 champion lacks the sizzle that saw him win 100 gold at Beijing in 9.69.
“I look at people. I analyse their races. He hasn’t shown to me to be in that type of shape that he was in 2008,” Greene said.
“If he is in that kind of shape he’s going to win. I don’t think he’s in that kind of shape. He’s having problems from zero to 65 (metres). From there to the finish, that’s just him. You have to be with him at 70.”
Bolt owns the fastest times in the world this year, 9.76 to win in Rome last month and 9.79 to win at Oslo earlier this month.
Gatlin, 30, is next at a career best 9.80 from his victory Sunday at the US trials. Then come Jamaicans Yohan Blake at 9.84 and Asafa Powell at 9.85 with Gay’s runner-up trials time of 9.86 next, level with Trinidad and Tobago’s Keston Bledman.
Greene, who held the world record at 9.79, does not favour the chances of either US runner against Bolt, but notes Gay is coming off right hip surgery last year that allowed him to return only this month after nearly a year off.
“I think it’s equal,” Greene said. “Tyson has run faster than Justin but he’s still coming off that surgery. His biggest thing is to get healthier. I don’t think he’s 100 per cent.
“I don’t think if you are going into a gunfight that you go in there with four bullets when everybody else has got nine. You’re going to need those extra bullets.”
Gay, whose personal best was 9.69 in 2009 at Shanghai, has had fewer races to tax his body, which could help in London.
“He stopped some of that wear and tear on his body. It’s probably a good thing,” Greene said. “It’s a difficult task for him. It remains to be seen if he can do it.”

Re: Gatlin Getting Facety With Bolt

I thought that Bolt face seemed more skeletal and he was more defined.. Suggesting he has been training.. I just hope he has been training.. when is the Jamaican olympic trials.. Cause there is no gaurantee that bolt will be in his races....He has to qualify I beleive...for the Jamaican team....Remeber the Sydney olympics and Ms Ottey....There are three or four very good sprinters.....

Does Greene know that Yohan Blake won the race in a relatively modest time of <span style="font-weight: bold">9.92</span> seconds? Like, Bolt would have run slower than that?
