(Reuters) - As Justin Gatlin prepares to meet Usain Bolt for the 10th time in their 100 metres rivalry, the American says he is feeling like the old Justin when he too was an Olympic and world champion. "It is back to the old Justin, like 2004, where I'm with the pack and pull away at the finish line. That's how I won my gold," said Gatlin, the 2004 Olympic and 2005 world champion before a four-year doping suspension and the 2008 emergence of Bolt. "I want to be right there, running shoulder to shoulder all the way down to the finish line," Gatlin said. "I've got to give Usain respect because one of the best things about him is not only has he run fast, he runs fast at the moment when he needs to."
