Justin Gatlin ‘satisfied’ with silver medal

Justin Gatlin is satisfied with second place in the 100-meter finals.

At 34, Gatlin was the oldest sprinter in the field and he took solace in medaling.

Gatlin was booed when he was introduced at the introductions because of his doping suspensions, but Gatlin said he tuned out the reaction on Sunday night and focused on the American flags in the crowd.

Told later that winner Usain Bolt was upset Gatlin was booed, the American said he has tremendous respect for Bolt.

Gatlin said: “There is no bad blood. I’m a competitor, he’s a competitor and he has pushed me to be the athlete that I am today. I hope he can say the say for me.”
