    Script: SOUNDBITE: (English) Justine Gatlin, U.S.A, silver medallist, men's 200 metres:

    "I am happy and pleased with my performance this far, and I have the rest of the season to prepare for it, I am happy to be out here and being in the sport over a decade, and still be able to get up to the podium, I think I am the oldest man to be on the podium, so I am happy with that also. He (Bolt) called me the old man at the background, and you don't see that. You know when we in the area to prepare he said 'Old man', so now you all know that he always call me the old. "

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Justine Gatlin, U.S.A, silver medalist, men's 200 metres:

    "You know you will never mind tend to come here, come to the championship, and try to win over any fans, or change the view of who I am, you know my team was coming here to compete with my best ability and that's my job is. I think that people saw a different view of me, I am just competitive man, I have no ill toward Usain, no ill towards anybody. I think we all worked very very hard all season long, try to stay away from injury, and just get out there to run 9 seconds or 19 seconds to get on that podium. And I think that mission is accomplished and I came out here with some hardware and get ready for the 4x100m and get ready for Rio."
