I can't imagine if Justin really go and do the ancestry test and found out his great, great grandfather is Jamaican. How he would feel...🤭🤭 Big up yourself Justin, a lot of us really thought you were a meany because of the media. We Finally get to see the real Justin Gatlin. Btw justin really has a sense of humor. I love that.
That was absolutely awesome guys. I want to personally apologize to Justin for hating on him for years because of the false narrative that the media have portrayed about him throughout his career. It's a life lesson to us all about judging a person by what others influences us to believe rather than our own experiences. So thank you to the Powells for officially introducing us to the real Justin Gatling
This interview with Justin Gatlin was hilarious! It's incredible how two track stars who have competed for so many years never spoke and are now like the best of friends. God knows best. Loving the camaraderie-you guys are amazing. We need more athletes like you in the world! Much respect to both Justin and Asafa. ❤️❤️🇯🇲🇺🇸🙏🏽
I watch both asafa and Justin compete against each other throughout the years and I never thought a day that I would see them sit down and have a conversation in this manner. It's definitely great to see and I salute both of you
I know right. I loved watching this & seeing the real side of the athletes. We never really get to see this side of them, who they are as a person. Also, I agree with Asafa’s wife, watching this, you would’ve thought Powell & Gatlin have been friends for years by how well they get on, it’s crazy how this is their first real conversation
Asafa and Alesha thank you so much for allowing me to get to know Justin. He is such down to earth genuinely awesome person. On the track competing next Jamaican, I don't even want to see him nor hear his name. Now I felt so bad. Please forgive me for carrying that grudge for so many years. I wish you all had this conversation many years ago but nothing happens before the time. I love the vibe and the respect you both have for each other. Make sure you all go on vacation together. Thanks again Mr. & Mrs Powell for this interview. I get to sit down and listen to Justin for the first time. I really enjoy this conversation. Please stay in touch both of you. I wish all athletes will take away something from this interview with Justin and Asafa. We'll done guys!
My whole perspective of Justin changed after tge world championship when he bowed before Bolt and then i listened to the post interview with him. He is a very decent guy and the media tried to paint him differently. Much respect to the Powells for this interview.
Asafa Powell has always been my favorite runner of all time and then Donovan Bailey. Even when he lost I’d still watch back the races with hopes of him winning. MOST CONSISTENT sprinter of all time 🙌🏼🙌🏼
“Don’t let the moment be bigger than you.” That’s a word Justin!! So good to see Justin from a different perspective. When you’re competing against a Jamaican, you’re PUBLIC ENERGY #1. We believe the hype!!
Absolutely love seeing Justin Gatlin. There was a rivalry between our athletes and the Americans, and Justin was always in the mix. I respect both Justin and Asafa, and I thank them for the good times and wish them well.
100% for sure. Certain athletes should be invited to the Olympics. Track & Field doesn't have All Star Games, and athletes need to be spotlighted and interviewed.
Oh dear I remember I went hard on Justin. I even felt like I hated him. Stupid me. All because of the medio. But I am older and wiser. Age will make you see things in the right perspective. Love you Justin❤❤❤
I enjoy this podcast, although JUSTIN u were public enemy no1 sitting down and having this conversation is very interesting and informative and it clears the air. 🇯🇲ans will embrace u for real.❤🙏.just keep coming back to the island bro u will b recognized.🇯🇲🇺🇸
@@winngriff Actually on the track they are at war. The media creates the drama that only causes lines to be drawn. It takes very little for things to get personal.... "a finger over your lips after a win..", "a look...", "not shaking hands..." Any of those can set someone off. Media picks up on it then its on.
I can relate to the whole story of when both Asafa and Justin started their fierce rivalry. It was very, very intense throughout those years. Now i can sit back and laugh, smile and nod my head in admiration for both Asafa and Justin. Wonderful episode guys and gal, well done.
Asafa and Justin under one roof!!!!! I ran, in college and had Jamaican teammates we were close and always talked about you two. I made it to a small contract and while I competed I studied you both... AS THE TRACK-N-FEILD WORLD we NEEDED to see this. Thank You Both, Made Respect continue to BE GREAT ON PURPOSE!
I love this sit down with Justin. When many Jamaicans use to hate on him I actually liked him because of his talent and the competitiveness he brought to the sport.
I love this conversation guys. After Gatlin mentioned that he is recognized more readily in Jamaica than in his own country this 98-year-old next to me exclaimed "Is Gatlin that?" 😄 She's a fan of his but have nuff, nuff love for Asafa. .
I thought thar many passed athletes were recognized at the opening ceremony at some of the Olympics. Maybe you all should advocate for it to be a regular thing to recognize pass greats at all olympic.
The best 59 minutes of my life thank you guys❤😊 🎉 one thing asafa is one fine man crush from day one....alyshia girl your glowing so radiant...you really complete asafa may god continue to bless your union.
Powells, you are doing so much for the culture with this one, at least for us - Jamaicans, we get to hear Gatlin. Conversation is flowing at its usual, effortless speed. Thank you Alyshia and Asafa for building this platform.
This was a really great interview getting to know Justin on a whole different level away from the Track. The rivalry between Jamaica and the US was at times palpable. Justin, we Jamaicans salute u for ur accomplishments and send u "One Love "❤
So true I am watching it on the train heading to work. Great energy for the 🌄. I honesty just saw Gatlin as a fierce competitor.But this interview really does show him in a different light.Big up to you, Safa, and Alyesa. Great interview.
This is so refreshing. The fact that Asafa and Justin are able to sit and converse, reminisce so comfortably is awesome. Two of the best to ever hit the tracks.
I totally enjoyed the conversation. Alysha asked the right questions that allowed us much insight into what was happening between Safa and Gatlin then. It would have been such a thing to have Bolt present. Great interview ❤
Really loved this interview/vibe session cause it truly just feels like a whole vibe and really getting to know Justin on a larger scale ❤ Justin’s was really public enemy number one (on the track) to us Jamaicans but now? 😂 after this video he really feels like an extended family
This was indeed a great watch, a great listen to two of the greats in Track and Field. During Justin's years of performance, I was not one of his biggest fans but Sir Justin, MAD respect to you. Your name will be remembered in the sport.
Akyshia you are great as a co-host. Nice to see two of the great athletes rapping like this.Very refreshing conversations. Learnt so much about both. Hope Justin takes up your offer and visit soon.
I think Usain Bolt begun the more relaxed era and the new guys have taken a leaf off of his page. Usain used to hug his competitors and was all giddy before races.
This is great! Two of my childhood hero’s Gat had the most 9.7s in 2015 but asafa is the king of 9.7s in his career! 👏🏾 12:29 mental toughness Perspective shift- The moment you trained everyday for is waiting on you. Seize it. 14:20 the fans will be there, the haters will be there, the media will be there, no matter what. Either way Would you rather them see you put on a show or crumble
AA+. I can’t say how much I appreciate this interview. If it wasn’t for the Powell podcast, us Jamaicans would not know Asafa had a voice. He was very low key and quiet. The rivalry was good for competition, but we took it to another level seeing USA athletes as public enemy #1 when they are competing with Jamaicans. If Jamaicans are not in the race, I will cheer for the USA. I am happy for Asafa and Justin to do this interview as mature men and break that stigma of the Jamaican- American rivalry. ❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Justin. Always thought of him as a fierce rival but that's always between Jamaica and the USA in track n field. Welcome Justin come again 🇯🇲❤️
Thank you Asafa and Alysha for this interview! 👏🏾👏🏾It’s so refreshing to hear from Justin Gatlin. Listening to him speak definitely changes my perception of his personality. I’m still going to root for Jamaican athletes any day over the USA! There’s no place like yard 🇯🇲🇯🇲🤗
Love to see channels like this and the one with Gatlin talking about the sprints and the stories we never heard because of the lack of cove4age here in the States.
So many gems 💎 dropped in this episode. I remember running track in high school in 2002 and being invited to a run at one the elite meets at university of Tennessee and the whispers of the Justin were still there. What she said was 1000 percent true , the legends should be invited to all the premier events especially since no one has filled the shoes of these guys. Love the content.
The truth is we gave Asafa a hard time as well. Non-athletes don’t take into consideration the pains and injuries athletes go through. I did not understand why he pulled up in so many races. It could have been three or ten. I don’t know. But just listening to his conversations on the podcast and TH-cam I have learned quite a lot. Much respect to both athletes.
This was an enlightening and enjoyable episode. Truly enjoyed it. The media would make you dislike people with their own spin. I'm glad that the discussion was made and so much misconceptions about people we know nothing about cleared. #teamjustinandasafa😅
This is a really great conversation! Two legends and former rivals in one space is truly awesome. I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for this one Mr and Mrs Powell! Welcome to Jamaica Justin ❤❤❤
I am not going to lie, the media really had me thinking Gatlin was a hater against jamaican athletes. Respect Gatlin and Asafa.
The media is horrible!
And now thanks for these platform they can control the narrative abit more
I knew he wasn’t it was Sean Crawford and Walter fix Tyson too he was mad he didn’t beat not in 2009😂
@AsafaAlyshiaPowell thanks for replying asafa 👊
I can't imagine if Justin really go and do the ancestry test and found out his great, great grandfather is Jamaican. How he would feel...🤭🤭
Big up yourself Justin, a lot of us really thought you were a meany because of the media. We Finally get to see the real Justin Gatlin. Btw justin really has a sense of humor. I love that.
Asafa and Justin under one roof it's a vibe,much respect
Really enjoyed that conversation
I love how Asafa and his family open up their house to anyone who visits Jamaica. Real Jamaican Ambassador! much respect!
This man is so Humble. He only answers to what is asked. No showing off. Luv me some Gatlin.
Facts
That was absolutely awesome guys.

Enjoying the sit down with these two gentlemen. Beautiful to hear from Justin in a real way. It's all love❤🇯🇲,
Once an island girl, ALWAYS an island girl. Nice podcast. We met the real Justin.🇯🇲 I could sit, and listen to you three all day.
Who is an island girl?

Jamaican born..but was always a fan of Gatlin..I love how Asafa showed him hospitality when he visited
Nice interview. Mrs Powell is stunningly beautiful and super intelligent.
Wow, thank you!
Justin i am proud of you. the fight and the struggles you had to overcome.
This was a lovely interview. The side of Justin Gatlin we haven't seen. Big up to your beautiful wife 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Alysha is such a good moderator great questions
I agree Asafa. Honor the Legends who placed the sports on the map.
Justin am ghanian when you won the gold in olympics i was happy for a long time tnx for showing up at asafo powell place am his family now .❤ africa
🚨🚨🚨ALYSHA RUINED THE INTERVIEW
How??
@@Sean-333 no she did not! She had the conversation flowing by asking the right questions that some viewers have
I think asafa as the best wife n also the most beautiful woman💯 that lady is so supportive in everything he does! She’s A One in a million wife fr
Asafa is just simply amazing!! He has always been humble, reserved with an honest personality. His wife really completes him. Happy to watch this.
Powerful truth
This is such a great conversation. It’s great to see Asafa open up and Alyshia did great as a co host. Love this! Big up the Powells!!!
I totally agree with Safa for saying this they have done so much for there country they should be specially invited
Yes fully agreed
@@AsafaAlyshiaPowellwhere’s Asafa’s diplomatic status, he needs this acknowledgment from Jamaica.
My whole perspective of Justin changed after tge world championship when he bowed before Bolt and then i listened to the post interview with him. He is a very decent guy and the media tried to paint him differently.
Much respect to the Powells for this interview.
Asafa Powell has always been my favorite runner of all time and then Donovan Bailey. Even when he lost I’d still watch back the races with hopes of him winning. MOST CONSISTENT sprinter of all time 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Me too
With all the rivalries on the tracks, I believe every athlete around the world loves the Jamaicans. Jamaicans are the MOTIVATORS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST LEGENDARY EPISODES ❤❤❤
I'm very happy to see the sub 10 king Mr Powell chatting with Justin Maltin that's wonderful..
“Don’t let the moment be bigger than you.” That’s a word Justin!!
So good to see Justin from a different perspective.
When you’re competing against a Jamaican, you’re PUBLIC ENERGY #1. We believe the hype!!
There need to be a club for all retirees
. Where they all come together.
Big up to all of you. Love the interview ❤
This is so nice, wow having two heavy weights on one platform again❤ this is just awesome...big up to the Powells❤❤🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
Thanks for listening
Excellent interview ❤
Absolutely love seeing Justin Gatlin. There was a rivalry between our athletes and the Americans, and Justin was always in the mix. I respect both Justin and Asafa, and I thank them for the good times and wish them well.
Good point Asafa,you and the other athletes should always be recognized.
You guys were great.
It's good to Justin gatlin in Jamaican big up to the Powell's
Good seeing Justin in this way.
Powell really is one of the most humble man, big up Gatlin too man 🥇 we love the show man
100% for sure. Certain athletes should be invited to the Olympics. Track & Field doesn't have All Star Games, and athletes need to be spotlighted and interviewed.
Welcome to jamaica Mr Gatlin.
Oh dear
I remember I went hard on Justin.
I even felt like I hated him.
Stupid me.
All because of the medio.
But I am older and wiser. Age will make you see things in the right perspective.
Love you Justin❤❤❤
Thanks to the #Powells for giving us the opportunity to know the real #Gatlin. This is real growth. Kudos 👏🏿

THE FASTEST ERA IN TRACK

Shout out to you, Justin, for being that rock for Novelene when she was going through her breast cancer diagnosis. You're a real one!
This is freaking gold!! If you could, it would be awesome if you could bring Tyson gay on
I would love this one as well honestly. In recent years I grown to respect Tyson
That would be fiyah!!!
I love this.

I spent so many years just hating him.
What a funny guy.
Nice interview.
Floridian in the house. The city beautiful. Sunshine state .🙏❤️
Yes indeed!
I agree 1000% with Asafa. There are legendary athletes who should be invited and included as part of the press. Who do we hound over this?
I am guessing the Olympics
@@AsafaAlyshiaPowell Most definitely 💯
Wow! A whole different vibe and atmosphere when you witness Justin off the track and the media out of the way ❤
Glatin looks very young he is a very lovely person🎉

Greetings Mr and Mrs Powell thanks for another great podcast. Very entertaining and insightful 👏🏾
Thanks for listening
This video is a ten out of ten. Well done Asafa, Alyisha and Justin. Did a rerun on this one, very entertaining and humbling. ❤
Love to see how Asafa and wife embrace Justin Gatlin in Jamaica 🇯🇲. One love !!
I have been waiting for this episode
It’s here 😅
This is great! Two of my childhood hero’s
Gat had the most 9.7s in 2015 but asafa is the king of 9.7s in his career! 👏🏾
12:29 mental toughness
Perspective shift- The moment you trained everyday for is waiting on you. Seize it.
14:20 the fans will be there, the haters will be there, the media will be there, no matter what. Either way
Would you rather them see you put on a show or crumble
That was a good one, you gotta seize the moment
AA+. I can’t say how much I appreciate this interview.
If it wasn’t for the Powell podcast, us Jamaicans would not know Asafa had a voice.
He was very low key and quiet.
The rivalry was good for competition, but we took it to another level seeing USA athletes as public enemy #1 when they are competing with Jamaicans.
If Jamaicans are not in the race, I will cheer for the USA.
I am happy for Asafa and Justin to do this interview as mature men and break that stigma of the Jamaican- American rivalry. ❤
Thank you , well said
Love the fact that Justin was privileged to do this interview
Justin is funny asafa is really getting comfortable on this platform great energy
We need a part 2 of Gatlin here. And then we need Usain and Gatlin all on the same episode.
The Powells and Justin Gatlin love the interview between you both Justin seems like a well rounded lay back guy
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Justin. Always thought of him as a fierce rival but that's always between Jamaica and the USA in track n field. Welcome Justin come again 🇯🇲❤️
Love the convos between the Jamaican sprinters and American sprinters.. they make for great content!!!!
Im so so happy for this kind of platform, this iis a historical moment and i give God thanks for this podcast
Thank you Asafa and Alysha for this interview! 👏🏾👏🏾It’s so refreshing to hear from Justin Gatlin. Listening to him speak definitely changes my perception of his personality. I’m still going to root for Jamaican athletes any day over the USA!
There’s no place like yard 🇯🇲🇯🇲🤗
Love to see channels like this and the one with Gatlin talking about the sprints and the stories we never heard because of the lack of cove4age here in the States.
Best episode big up the Powell's this was a vibe 👍
That’s Jamaican for u they will big u up for years to come🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲. USA NAAH especially if ur black,I said it.
Shhhh....the black Americans feel the same way. Black love worldwide!
So many gems 💎 dropped in this episode. I remember running track in high school in 2002 and being invited to a run at one the elite meets at university of Tennessee and the whispers of the Justin were still there. What she said was 1000 percent true , the legends should be invited to all the premier events especially since no one has filled the shoes of these guys. Love the content.
I am an American and i loved this. Please do another podcast together. The energy is on point.
Great interview, the Chemistry between these 2 legends was amazing.
The truth is we gave Asafa a hard time as well. Non-athletes don’t take into consideration the pains and injuries athletes go through. I did not understand why he pulled up in so many races. It could have been three or ten. I don’t know. But just listening to his conversations on the podcast and TH-cam I have learned quite a lot. Much respect to both athletes.
So True ge got his fair share of whipping ,so much that they forgot how get he was doing before
This was a great interview, keep it up the Powell's, welcome again to Jamaica Justin
I say that all the time, Asafa is reserve and observed his environment, he is also a people person. Real polite
This was an enlightening and enjoyable episode. Truly enjoyed it. The media would make you dislike people with their own spin. I'm glad that the discussion was made and so much misconceptions about people we know nothing about cleared. #teamjustinandasafa😅
This is a really great conversation! Two legends and former rivals in one space is truly awesome. I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for this one Mr and Mrs Powell! Welcome to Jamaica Justin ❤❤❤
