I can win gold at the Tokyo Olympics - Former Olympic and world 100m champion Gatlin

Former Olympic and world 100m champion Justin Gatlin says he can win gold at the Tokyo Olympics despite him likely being 39 when the postponed Games take place.

The Olympics, due to begin in July, were postponed this week because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Gatlin, won gold at Athens 2004 and the world title in London in 2017 after a second doping ban.

Asked if he could win in Tokyo, he told TMZ Sports: his educated guess is yes.

The International Olympic Committee says the Games will be staged no later than summer 2021.
