Usain Bolt is human?

If you wanted to make one comparison to a movie this would be like when Rocky made Ivan Drago bleed in Rocky IV. Usain Bolt was defeated today in the 100-Meter Dash by USA’s Justin Gatlin at the IAAF Diamond League Series in Rome.

Yes this is the same, now 31-year old Justin Gatlin who won Olympic gold in 2004 before being suspended for four-years due to testing positive for excessive testosterone (Gatlin won bronze in the 2012 Olympics). Gatlin today ran a time of 9.94 while Bolt ran a second place time of 9.95. You may look at this as it is only .01 seconds, but that is all the difference when it comes to sprinting.

Is Bolt still the fastest man alive? Yes he certainly is, but what this does now is add a story line going in to the World Championships this August in Moscow. You can view Gatlin’s victory down below.
