Justin Gatlin Good Quotations

Leonard Scott ran a very good technical race, Sean Crawford came through easily, everybody's running really fast and times are pretty much equal in the first round. So everybody's going to have to come out and put their game on.

I am satisfied with the race, especially the track and the local fans. Shanghai gives me a very good impression. I will come here again next year.

I am really pleased with the season this year. I feel I have established better credit to my name and feel I am more consistent. My hamstring was a little bit tight about 20 meters to the finishing line, but it was a good race, I think my performance was good, the competition was great.

I just thought it was a little nerves from the start; a lot of these guys have never raced in a stadium that big. Leonard stuck out his hand. Mardy held onto the stick tight, a little too tight. Leonard went to grab it and obviously had a good grip on it, and he was taking it out of Mardy's hand, and Mardy still wouldn't let go.

They were playing duck, duck, goose with the lanes. They couldn't find out who was in Lane 3 or Lane 7 or Lane 8, so they switched it around. Then the announcer called it with the wrong lanes, so they switched it around again. They did that about three times. But the audience was patient, we were patient and we put on a good show.

I am working on my start, once I have a good start, I think I can go to boundaries that no other man has been to.
