Now what I cannot comprehend, is why the
International Community criticizing on
Usain Bolt for his manner of celebration after he broke the
world record in the
men's 100 and 200 meter ? I read that even the
President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Jacques Rogge stated that "He should shake hands with his competitors and not ignore them" and "He'll learn that sooner or later. But (he's) a great athlete, of course". I have seen Bolt acknowledge and even childishly play around with his competitors. Many American athletes have celebrated their win in a similar manner and I am yet to see anyone hurl criticism at them.
Usain is indeed very childish and his antics may just reflect his true age, lol but I think the criticism is undue and unprovoked. All athletes have that air about them, that comes with the territory even the most humble of competitors have an egotistical and bigheaded attitude while competing. I hope his ass keeps on breaking records left right and center and let those crazy Americans send their scientists to test the yams and the diet he grew up on in
Jamaica. Those Americans always amaze me, just can't accept that they lost fair and square. Americans always finding fault in everything, it looks childish and it is simply annoying, and that is the character of a sore loser and unsportsmanlike behavior at its finest. Booo Hoo

You are so right if it was that Phelps guy he would have become an instant celeb and the commentators would have been all over him. "big up" Usain Bolt
Usain is a character man.. he father should of stayed quiet about the yams.
I live in America and totally agree with you. Had he been American they would have been estatic, but because he is who he is and they didnt see this coming a mile away theyre upset. This is coming from an american with jamaican roots.
Oh man, I love broad, sweeping generalizations! Because, you know, all Americans are exactly alike! LOL!
BTW, no, I'm not American, so don't even try to pull that crap.
