Bolt Completely Dismisses Suggestions That He’s “Afraid” of Gatlin
The world’s fastest man has dismissed suggestions he is scared to face in-form American sprinter Justin Gatlin.
Bolt has taken it easy after being plagued by injuries last year. In recent times Gatlin has run some incredible times in both the 100m and 200m sprints clocking 9.75 and 19.68 seconds respectively.
Following his impressive times he also declared himself “the man to beat”.
A highly anticipated showdown involving the two sprinters is scheduled to take place in the World Championships in Beijing this August along with other hot contenders such as Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay.
Currently in New York for the Diamond League Grand Prix meeting, Bolt stated:
“Afraid? When people say that, I laugh”.
“I’ve been in the sport for years and I’ve never dodged anybody. When it matters, I’ve always showed up and shown that I’m the best,”.
“Gatlin has been doing a lot of talking, saying a lot of things. He’s proved he’s running fast times and he’s ready. So it should be exciting going into the World Championships.
“I look forward to competing when people talk… because if you don’t back it up you look really stupid.”
“Justin is running good, Tyson (Gay) is running good, Asafa (Powell) is running good, Usain is running good. So when we come to the championship, it’s going to be like an explosion”, he also added.

The boss dat
Bolt is so calm and let the field looks like a toy he is enjoying every moment while Gatlin trying to commit sucide. Bolt dance before he runs and after does this man look like somebody a worry about Gatlin?
Super Bolt don’t listen to mouth mi Don, just keep the Bolting Ooooh, Nuff Luv
Usain Bolt, I’m ready. #doYOU #TeamBolt
Up ….#neverscared #seriousface
Real big talk….If I know Usain Bolt like I try to, nothing is wrong with him. He just don’t want to show his form so that anyone can know what shape he is in. He did the same thing in London when he rented out a staduim and went to trained by himself. Everyone was saying that he was not in shape and that the Beast was going to beat him, he beat both the Beast and Gatlin.
We should be asking who is going to finished second in the 100 meters race. I know Usain Bolt will win the race but there could be an upset for second place.. Don`t rule out Asafa Powell or Tyson Gay taking the second place. The presence of Usain Bolt in this race, Justin Gatlin is going to fade away.
Bolt just keep your focus don’t listen to people. Praying for you and the team.
