Usain Bolt

**Maverick_J8** · 08-16-2008, 10:41 AM

This kid is incredible!!!

9.69, laughing and dancing the last 10metres to the finish line.

He has moved whole generations of track history to new and unbelievable levels. And... just 21 years of age.

He has the right to be.

No not at all, he showed no respect to the other athletes by doing that. They train day in and day out to for years and they deserve more respect.

Do you have any logic to that "opinion"???

It's so absurd it's funny.

**Maverick_J8** · 08-16-2008, 10:55 AM

Like saying Michael Johnson had no right running 19.32 in 96 wearing gold spikes.

Show off.

nope.

**xlxBigSexyxlx** · 08-16-2008, 10:57 AM

Thats sick time. I didn't see it. Is that the 100m??

But I agree with N*E*R*D.

"dancing and laughing" the last 10 meters is pretty disrespectful and unsportsmanlike. ....no class

Possibly could've had a better time if he would've really ran those last 10m.

**Maverick_J8** · 08-16-2008, 11:06 AM

His words were "He didn't come to break the world record, he came to win".

That shows respect imo.

**redz** · 08-16-2008, 11:11 AM

It was an awesome race hopefully he passes his drug test. He smoked everyone without even trying. He could have run 9.5 if he had gone 100% the whole race.

What on earth are you going on about? Nobody said his words were disrespectful but his actions was. As they say actions speak a thousand words (or somet like that).

I thought people stopped using the word "tosspot" in primary school.

**EatLiftGrow** · 08-16-2008, 11:38 AM

I think hes a tremendous athlete, but perhaps if he carried himself like phelps i would respect him a little more. Phelps is far more dominant of an athlete, and acts like he has done it before. Phelps has it down. Win the race, crush everyone else, raise a finger like you knew nothing else was going to happen. If Bolt acted this way i think i would like him a whole lot more.

It's very sad when you get the odd one who spends their Saturday afternoon on the computer post-whoring to try and get their post count up.

Bro, Dont post threads if you cant handle someone else disagreeing with you. Tell me how there is sportsmanship in showing up other athletes.

**BlInDsIdE** · 08-16-2008, 11:55 AM

lol u guys should prob let it b or take it 2 pms.

Not 2 sure how i feel about that- i know if i were one of the other dudes runnin i would b piiiiiiiissed.

**Skully44420** · 08-16-2008, 12:06 PM

yeah thats bad sportsmanship IMO

Agreed, It's like any boxer or MMA fighter that starts out their career humble and respectful but once they win a few tough fights they start spouting out like "I'm the best in the world, bring anybody on, I can't be beaten" That's when I lose respect for them as an athlete.

Yeah thats right(Except its not) Go to the postwhoring thread and it'll tell you exactly what i have been doing today.

Im off this thread bro as your unwitty and unfunny replies are boring me, if you post an intelligent reply to any of my posts i might grace your thread with my return.

**J-Dogg** · 08-16-2008, 12:53 PM

I think he was doing it more out of excitment then to mock the other athletes

**peachfuzz** · 08-16-2008, 01:09 PM

somebody post a link already!

how else can i give my expert opinion and put an end to this quarreling?

**mic.p** · 08-16-2008, 06:29 PM

Look the realism is that this guy ran the fastest legal 100m on the face of the earth, now weather being a show pony the last 10m was un sportsman like or not is hard to say, however he certainly would have run 9.65 or lower had he had actually ran full stick to the line.
This man will definetly dominate sprinting for possibly the next 10 years.

a) He has every right to be

c) I don't really consider extending your arms for the final 10m showing off? It just goes to show how good he really is, he doesn't even have to give it 100% and he smashes the world record. Pure talent

He'll be old news by the next Olympics. It's rare for the 100m champ to continually win. When the next sprinter using a much improved (and undetectable) drug comes along, his WR/OR will go the way of the dinosaur.

Agree.

Disagree.

Humility is the GREATEST mark of a champion.

Name the compound? They test for absolutely everything. Even HGH now, and THG (whatever the acronym is). Even cream application Test.

There is no drug he could be using that doesn't get tested.

Johnson never used, and Bolt is the same level, if not higher, than Johnson. And there's only so far a human being can go. The chance of anyone getting ever getting under 9 seconds is next to nothing. Noone ever questioned it would be possible to achieve 9.66. It was possible. But under 9 seconds is questioned. Near impossible.

Absolutely wrong. The tests are estimated to be at least a year to two years behind the current drugs. Ever hear of Marion Jones? She tested clean in every track meet she entered, but admitted to using steroids that were designed by BALCO. Tests can only be made for drugs they know about, not for drugs they have no idea exist.

so many athletes fail tests but the results are swept under the rug by labeling it inadvertent use. Carl Lewis was found to have amphetamines in his sample but still recieved gold after it had been stripped from ben johnson.

Exactly. They even showed this in Bigger, Stronger, Faster documentary

**mic.p** · 08-18-2008, 04:06 AM

has anyone got a link to the actual race, i mean i saw it live but i just want to see it again on replay. can't seem to find it anywhere.

Absolutely ridiculous! That sounds like a comment made by someone who has never won anything significant in their life. Trying passing that bs sentiment off to some of the greatest athletes of all time (Jordan. Woods, Ali, Favre, Smith, etc.). All showed similar traits of excitement during or following major victories.

Being named the 'world's fastest man' at only 21 in a race his isn't even built to win (he's 6'5), the man should be able to celebrate anyway he wishes.

**Red Ketchup** · 08-18-2008, 02:15 PM

No offence guys, but I find it funny that a bunch of bodybuilders, most of whom walk around in muscle shirts with their shoulders squared, chest thrust out and preening like birds in mating season (because they worked their ass off to look that way and earned the right to walk around like that and "display it"!) would take a dump on a runner who is doing the same thing.

Just my 2 cents worth...

Yeah, you're right. Michael Phelps wins 8 gold medals and he gives the credit to his teammates. WTF was he thinking?! During his finals, he should have rolled over onto his back, pointed at himself with one hand, while using the other to signify that he's number one. Because we all know that showing off before the race finishes is what really makes a champion great.
