OLYMPIC PREVIEW DAY 10 – AUGUST 14TH – USAIN BOLT V JUSTIN GATLIN, WHO IS THE FASTEST MAN ALIVE?

Each day I’ll be previewing a few of the biggest events for the day at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Now, I won’t preview every event but I’ll pick about 10 each day and give my quick prediction for who will win. This isn’t supposed to necessarily be an in-depth prediction article, but I will give you times and TV stations of a few events to watch for the day, with added emphasis to contests involving the US, as most of this websites viewers are from there.  Anyway, without further ado, let’s begin!
