Justin Gatlin is a five-time Olympic medalist, a record five-time 100-meter World Championships medalist, and one of the few people on Earth who can say they’ve beaten Usain Bolt in a sprint. And he’s not done. At 38, Justin still has blazing speed and is laser-focused on setting records next year in Tokyo, at his final Olympic Games. On this episode of “Getcha Popcorn Ready,” Justin joins T.O. and Hatch to talk about facing retirement, his prep for the 2021 Olympics, competing with Bolt, racing for money as a kid, his experience trying out to be an NFL wide receiver, why more track guys don’t make it in the league, how he’s challenging athletes during the pandemic, his eye-opening traffic stop experience, what he went through during his four-year competition ban for doping and how it changed his mindset, and more. Plus, T.O. challenges Justin to a race. You don’t want to miss this! Yee!
