Carmelita Jeter and Justin Gatlin ? meet Carmelita and Justin, the cheetah cubs. They may be only 3 months old, but they will soon leave you in the dust.
The National Zoo in Washington has named two cheetah cubs after the fastest Americans in the Olympics.
Jeter won the silver medal in the women's 100 meters, finishing in 10.78 seconds. Gatlin took the bronze in the men's 100 with a time of 9.79.
Cheetahs are the fastest animals on land. Their top pace is nearly three times as fast as Gatlin's bronze-winning run.
