The Track is Heating Up

Heats for the men's 100-meter sprint took place Saturday morning, with USA's Justin Gatlin and Jamaica's Usain Bolt assuming the starring roles.

At 10.01 seconds, Gatlin had the fastest time of the day. Bolt's 10.07 was clearly the most comfortable, though. He eased up with 20-30 meters to go and had time to look back at Andrew Fisher digging for every inch.

Rio 2016 shared photos of Bolt's run:

Bolt came into these games with injury concerns, but he looked fine on the track and said he feels fine too, per ESPN's T.J. Quinn:

If his hamstring doesn't betray him, it's hard to imagine anyone beating Bolt in later rounds when he kicks it into high gear.

Medals Awarded on the Field

Over on the field, Harting's gold medal-winning throw was a personal best and secured back-to-back Olympic wins for the Harting family, per the IAAF:

Following the win, Harting indulged the Rio crowd for a bit, per the AP's Mauricio Savarese:

"

Women's shot put also wrapped up this weekend, with American Michelle Carter winning the gold. She knocked off two-time defending Olympic champion Valerie Adams of New Zealand to land USA's first gold in this event, per NBC's Seth Rubinroit:

"

Carter, a certified professional makeup artist who is nicknamed the “Shot Diva,” is the first U.S. Olympic women's shot put gold medalist. She became the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in the event since 1960, when Earlene Brown claimed bronze.
