The phrase "time and tide wait for no man" is a truism Justin Gatlin challenges with every stride.

The Rio Summer Olympics marks the third games for the 34-year-old American sprinter. A four-time medalist — one gold, one silver and two bronze — Gatlin is among the most historically significant sprinters in USA Track & Field history.

"With track and field, you have to be a consistent athlete and consistent winner," Gatlin told Agence France Presse, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
