Justin Gatlin is one of the most accomplished American sprinters of the 21st century. The Olympic champion and five-time Olympic medalist is now preparing for a very different kind of race.

As part of FloTrack’s coverage of live track & field and the Diamond League, we’re excited to launch a brand-new show: The Athlete’s Lounge. Hosted by an all-star lineup — Trey Hardee, Matthew "Centro" Centrowitz Jr., and English Gardner, with rotating co-hosts Demitra Carter and Nia Gibson — this show offers a fresh, dynamic way to experience the biggest moments in track & field.

It goes without saying that many legendary track stars have come out of the University of Oregon throughout the years. No school is more closely associated with the sport of track and field in the universe, and it’s not even close. An Oregon coach literally invented the first Nike track spike, and the program hasn’t slowed a bit since the days of Bill Bowerman.
