Justin Gatlin won the men’s 100 in a world-best 9.80, improving on his 9.83 in the semifinals. She has had smoother runs in winning four Olympic gold medals, including the 200 at London in 2012. “It’s a little relief,” said Gatlin, who won gold in the 100 in 2004 and three other medals between two drug-related suspensions. Two months ago, Allyson Felix couldn’t walk, hobbled when she descended from a pull-up and landed on a medicine ball instead of on the gym floor. It seems like things were hitting me left and right,” said Felix, who beat out Phyllis Francis (49.94) and Natasha Hastings (50.17).
