The US sprinter Justin Gatlin gave a big shock to Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt. Justin Gatlin won a gold medal for his country in 2004 Athens Olympics. Recently, Justin was into the news after a video of him went viral in Social media. The video shows that Gatlin had participated in a Japanese television show called ‘Kasupe’.

In this show, Justin managed to break the 100m world record by Usain Bolt of 9.58 seconds which he set in 2008 Beijing Olympics. Shockingly, Justin completed the race in just 9.45 seconds. Gatlin’s previous best was 9.74 seconds. Justin achieved this feat with the help of an enormous electric fan that was placed next to him at the starting line and throughout the length of the course.

According to the reports, the strength of the wind that was provided by the fans was somewhere around 20 mph. A point that should be noted in this regard is that the speed of the wind that aided Gatlin to break the record was almost four times the legal limit that is allowed for professional competitions.

However, the record achieved by Justin Gatlin was an unofficial one. Justin has reportedly been paid about $25,000 to appear on the Japanese TV show. Despite the previous outcomes, the American is still pretty confident that he will be able to secure a medal for the United States at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
