By AFPMore by this AuthorSACRAMENTOJustin Gatlin says the prospect of lining up for one final duel against Usain Bolt is driving his weary body as he attempts to book his place on the US team for August's World Championships. But with the exception of a lone Gatlin victory in a Rome Diamond League meeting in 2013, the rivalry has been one-sided. Bolt leads Gatlin 8-1 in head-to-head meetings, a record which includes two Olympic and world 100m finals. In the circumstances, reaching London for one last showdown with Bolt would be especially satisfying, Gatlin said. Gatlin was a comfortable winner of his 100m first-round heat at Sacramento's Hornet Stadium on Thursday in a brisk 10.00 seconds.
