At what age did Gatlin set the fastest-ever time recorded for a man over 30 in the 100 meters?

Answer

At the age of 33, Gatlin ran the 100 meters in 9.74 seconds, setting the fastest-ever time recorded for a man over 30. This time was also the second-fastest time ever recorded by any man, behind Usain Bolt's world record of 9.58 seconds. Gatlin's time was especially impressive given his age, as it is rare for a sprinter to be able to maintain their speed into their thirties.
