I was ambivalent about even opening this video because of my impression of Gatlin back in his early days where he struck me as being so cocky (but in truth, that could be said of all American sprinters of that era). My view of him was even worse when he got banned. However, I believe in the power of redemption and backed off to just being neutral on his return. In the end, I saw a humbled man really grinding to revive his career in a sport he really loves. After watching this video, props for the honest insight behind the effort and you have my outmost respect sir. Cheers!!!
Justlin, i would like to sincerely apologize to you for judging you wrongfully back then. You a such a rare gem and I'm happy for your journey. You seem so sweet amd genuine. Thanks for showing us that side of you. 🇯🇲❤️
Well said! Me too. I was a big fan of Justin's and was very disappointed when the news came out about the ban. It's all these years later that I realize that we can't just accept media presentations of situations as representing the full story. I'm so happy to be watching all his positive content on RUclips now and sad for all that he went through after working so hard to reach his goals. I will never be the #1 best in the whole world at ANYTHING, so I have so much respect for Justin and his peers.
Justin is my favorite because he didn’t give up, he did what he was Blessed to do and showed everyone he deserved to be an Olympian 🎉🎉🎉⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love this sport but it’s a shame that it doesn’t have as much publicity, you are literally the greatest American sprinter of all time. And this has 2,000 views.
Watching this is so exciting for me, don’t know how I’m just seeing this now! 2012 watching Justin comeback, and how he navigated the rounds was poetry in motion. 2014&15 watching him dominate made me so happy. I always liked his story and how he came back. I’m no longer an athlete but tried to use the principles moving forward Funny enough now, I’m 26, and life has been whopping my ass, taking so many L’s, since 18. I was beginning to feel like I’m 8 years behind and served a ban too (metaphorically for years lost). Then I remembered , some men reach success in their earlier 30s like usain & retire, or start building an family and you have others like j gatlin, Kim collins that make that impact in their late 30s to early 40s regardless of career path. Even though I feel behind, I feel it can still make it financially by 40 and look at a family then, and gatlin is a muse for that Thanks for how detailed this was. It was very inspiring
This interview with you Gat & Rod, is really telling us how resillient u were: Thanks Gatlin: As you said ' Iron sharpens Iron: No one can celebrate Bolt without u being in the equation: U both are Champion Kings of T& F,in yr eras: We love you both equally my brother: Keep mounting up like the EAGLE that u both are: In that era there was no interest to wath the ' Incredible '6' if all of u wasn't at the starting line: U all should form a powerful coalition with each other for the rest of yr lives: U all are great trend setter for the remainder of Worldwide Olympics game: Also,I think that the Olympic Associations should make all of yr team VIP invites to every Olympics from now upwards into the Priority Box Seats in every Olympic meets,going forward: U all are Track LEGENDS. MAXIMUM RESPECT TO YOU GATLIN:😂❤🎉

Hello love our platform but as a video editor I can’t help but interject let you know that these interviews/videos would be a lot more captivating, informative, and immersive if you have the race playing while Justin is talking. Otherwise fantastic stuff!
Errol Spence could learn from Justin in how he handled his coach once he started getting paid again. Errol decided not to pay his Derrick James what he owed him after he received his biggest payday.

Track and Field is massively popular but comes in waves.
You better believe he is known
It is a shame
Couldn’t agree more
I swear Justin’s story needs a a whole film/documentary! He is the embodiment of tenacity!

Justin my brother thanks for everything you did for the sport I’m a a fan and have always been a fan be blessed.
DAMN!!!!! Patton broke his collar bone in that fall. As a Jamaican i knew you were coming back with that dog in you Gat. much respect.
As a Jamaican, l love all American athletes when they mot besting the Jamaicans.
😂😂same here. I cheer for them whenever there are no Jamaicans competing with them.
Much respect, JG. You're a legend, brother!!!
Thank for sharing your stories with us nuff respect 🇯🇲
The 2012 race was insanity
I love your positive vibe ✨️ and your objective mindset to athletics.
this is deep!! Thanks for opening up!
God bless you 🙏 sir throughout your journeys.😊
Can’t believe you skipped Gatlin beating Powell 9.88 vs 9.89 in Doha 2012. That was the big comeback race.
🇯🇲… love you bro. Respect.
Miss the days of him bolt n yohan goin at it 🥺😭😭 good times
Tyson&Asafa also.
Now this Era was some real, fast Sprinters
I just love listening to you guys. Great story for everyone to understand and learn from.
This is how not to give up in life even when the devil got its knees on your neck.
Amazing interview!
Your life is blessing to others.
RIP Brooks Johnson. Everyone in the sport seems to have a Coach Brooks story. Appears to be a hell of a man.
Gatlin is one of the goats 🐐
you should have used neosporin pain relief antibiotic ointment and use a oversized bandaid to cover the blisters
U cant use no steriod type of meds during competition
The Story of NEVER GIVE UP BY ANY MEANS 👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾💯👍🏽‼️🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
The Goat-Comeback=🏅after🏅after 🏅after
Gatlin no doubt great competitor. Just like his energy before race
FLI we gotta get this out to the world
This!!!!
J HAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE G.O.A.T..THE UPS RHE DOWNS THE HIHGS THE LOWS...ALL MEN STUMBLE AND EHAT MAKES HIM SO AMAZING...IS THAT HE NEVER QUITS! # KINGJ 👌🏾👊🏾👑💪🏾
40 repeat 100s with 10 second recovery 😂😂😂😂😂
No reason to hate, they all are on the juice and that is OK. The problem is the child like general NPC-public.

2008 Summer Olympics
21:06 fear of damage to Achilles due to blisters, what did i miss 😮

Lit
Gatlin had a whole NFL stunt during the 4 year lay off
🔥🔥🔥
Gatlin was disliked in Jamaica back in the day. I remember. They use to call him drugs boy
Yes he was but is not like he is not good althetle & he decided to return clean & do good
Get some.
White balled
