In an athletics event hel ¶d at the Tuks Stadium in Pre∑σ₩toria, American track and field super∏∞star Gatlin lost in the > women's 150m race. He had only &•recorded the data in '∞ ≠the fourth stopwatch f€​←φor 15 seconds 23 . Thβ÷e champion was won by South Africa →Ω's national 200m nati∏ε™∞onal record holder, Jobe÷σ Dewana, whose achievement was 15 se↔ conds 08, a figure that glitt→ ered in the stopwatch♦"∏ . This is Gatlin's first ÷✔₹∑race in the 2018 season, he sΩ₩$uffered the first defeat of the new≈ε'♠ season.

Last August's World Champi×εσ₽onships in London, in ‌™the game stopwatch displ¶✔ay Gatlin 9 seconds 92 s'>↓econds, the first to Bolt 0.03 seδ<÷♣conds to win results, and finall₽→↔y get rid of the "thousands of y®∏oung II" hat before Bolt§γ service. However, Gatlin received a bδ®uzz at the scene from ten®↕ s of thousands of London vis×±γitors, and the IAAF chairman<ε Sebastian Co. also made a cold remaσ 'αrk against Gatlin.

Gatlin was the 100m champion of '>the World Championships. She wa< €s invited by the South♠γ÷ African Association of Athletics​£✘ to participate in the competition. T ®he contest has a definite nature. ∞᣶Gatlin did not run the 100 meters he w♦>×↓as best at, but took ↓↔part in the 150-mete ©→r race. The women's 150m is not ‌‌an official IAAF compet∞φ•ition. Before that, Bolt had a 14-se₹§£cond 35-second stopwatcα↔h . Gatlin's perf₽←★ormance in the game was v→€→αery common, not only did not catch up♣§≈ with the leader of the Jordan Bodewan​₩ a, near the starting point was✔π  also the other two players with the sa☆↔me field overtaking, and ulti€Ω®mately only achieved fourth place ₽.

Gatlin was over 36 years old ‍☆™on February 10th last year≥ ↓. The outside world is skeptiε$×cal that he can maintain the t≥πop level of the world in this age.∑α According to pre-match U.S. medi"≥a reports, Gatlin did not pla≠‌↕™n to serve in the short ↔​±δterm. He wanted to run for tw₽<‍ o more years and participate in the <₩∑→2020 Tokyo Olympics. It is reportα↕★ed that Gatlin plans to open her 100ε'λ-meter journey for wδ¥ε≈omen in the new season on the ε‍→Shanghai station of the IAAF Diamon<★d League in May of last year.
