In the men's 100-meter race at the U.S. Miramar Track and Field Invitational Championships, the 39-year-old American flyer Gatling ran 9.98 seconds in the men's 100 meters, and unfortunately won the second place with a second disadvantage, with a wind speed of +m seconds. Corey King won in 9.97 seconds. It's amazing that Gatlin can start his new season in 10 seconds at such an advanced age.

Su Bingtian ran 10.05 seconds last month and is currently ranked 10th in the world this season. Shakkari Richardson, a post-00s American female flyer, ran 10.72 seconds (+ meters and seconds) in the women's 100m race, ranking joint 18th in history, and she became the 6th fastest female flyer in human history.

Prior to this race, Gatlin had broken the 10-second barrier 62 times in his career, seven of which were 9.80 seconds, and his personal best was 9.74 seconds in Doha in 2015. Affected by the epidemic last year, Gatlin only participated in one domestic race in July, and although he ran 9.99 seconds, he could not be officially recognized because the wind speed was +meter second. At the Miramar Invitational, Gatlin started his 2021 season, running a good time of 10.03 seconds in the preliminaries, when the wind speed was +msec.

The men's 100m final was played in two groups, with Corey King and Gatling having a wind speed of exactly +m/s. Corey King won in 9.97 seconds and opened the 10-second barrier for the first time, reaching the Tokyo Olympics, but as an American, he must finish in the top three at the National Trials in June to qualify for Tokyo. Gatlin, a 39-year-old veteran, was second in 9.98 seconds, while Antigua and Barbuda's Green was third in 9.98 seconds.

The post-race results show that in the men's 100m in the other final, the wind speed reached +ms, Isaiah Young ran 10.02 seconds to finish first, and veteran Mike Rogers was second in 10.05 seconds.

Gatlin ran 10 seconds for the first time in Doha, and has broken 10 seconds for 18 years. Of course, some records are still difficult for him to break, such as the 97 runs that Jamaica former world record holder Asafa Powell has run to this day to break the 10-second mark. Collins, a player from St. Kitts and Nevis, currently holds the world record in the men's 100m 9.93 seconds between the ages of 40 and 45.

Gatlin was particularly powerful back then, and he can be said to be the second person in the world in the 100m after Usain Bolt.

Gatlin was quite strong at the time, because he had good physical flexibility and his unique skills, and he played quite well in related competitions.

At that time, Gatlin broke the world record, and he also won the admiration of many people, and also gained a large number of fans, and also became a very good sprinter, it can be said that no one can break his record.
