After finishing second at the World Championships for the 100-meter event, track star Justin Gatlin noticed someone in the stands heckling his mother while he received his silver medal on the podium.
According to ESPN‘s Jim Caple, singled out the heckler while he was at the podium and said “chill out, be a gentleman.”
Gatlin finished second to Usain Bolt in the 100-meter event, but not by much.
