Usain Bolt






I don't remember the last Olympics very well. But I've always known that the U.S. dominates track & field. I was surprised to find Jamaica as a top contender in many events, and discover such a character as Usain Bolt.

Definitely one of the more entertaining characters in the 2008 Olympics.
He has made the Olympics fun.

A lot of talk about poor sportsmanship by some anal Olympic committee people. What's wrong with being good and having fun at the same time? Bolt does not taunt others or try to belittle opponents as the French swim relay team did to the American swim relay team.

His celebration before the 100m was imo unintentional. He was overcome with happiness. It wasn't a gesture of disrespect to the other runners.





Dude had specific 100m shoes and 200m shoes for each race. Dude is a comedian.

I had to edit the statement about the Olympic wrestler who threw down his bronze medal. Apparently, he was justified in being upset.
