Usain Bolt 1st 100 Crystal Palace : Speakers & Interviews

the best there is

You see how they tried to get him to say something negative about his own teammates? "What is your response to someone in your racing group being dirty?"

I hate the press...

what part of that made you feel like he was arrogant... i missed it i guess...

someone needs to beat this ass hes to arrogant

when racing he's beautiful. when not, he's an egomaniac.

Field events are also "highly technical. lots of elements. many variables to master and execute under pressure" and last about 10 seconds. We don't hear a lot about them. I'd say the 100 is more exciting right now simply because of people like Usain. I'll admit, I get excited to watch his antics.

screw usain bolt...i hope someone...anyone will just clean his plow at worlds

God Bless You Mi Son! You mek us proud Usain!!

what is up with you all hatin on Bolt? I love the guy. He's having fun. This is the guy's personality. It's not boastful. It's playful. If you actually pay attention to what he says, how he handles himself in press conferences, as a guest on TV shows or for interviews, he comes off in a rather dignified and classy manner. The playfulness and goofiness is just his style, that's all. He's all business about racing and training, but he enjoys the crowd interaction. And, why not?

Between your comment and the previous guy's, it seems there may be a bit of a distance runner (anti-sprinter) bias on display. To dismiss Bolt's (or any other world class sprinter's) description and break down of his/her race as somehow not justified "because the race is too short to warrant anything to talk about" only reveals the previous commentor's ignorance of sprinting.

And ego. They all have to show their egos. Basically they get praised for displaying what is generally considered rude, boastful, bad behavior. Wonderful way to show people (and kids who view this guy as a role model, for that matter) how to be a self-obsessed, preening individual. I go out of my way to not watch this primping jerk's races.

plenty. sprinting at that level is highly technical. lots of elements. many variables to master and execute under pressure.

Is there really a lot to talk about in a race that short?
