it's funny how so many people are concerned about the money part of sports... aren't sports supposed to be about more than that? yeah, i know money's great and all, and i wouldn't be complaining either if it was me, but the fact is that being an athlete is supposed to be about more than money. it's about loving the sport. i found this site by googling "bolt is an idiot" because i don't really agree with his little celebration with still 20+ meters to go. yeah i agree with spock because, for all bolt or any of us know, this could have been the last race of his life. who knows right? who knows what will happen? but anyways, when spock says "he should stick to business" i believe he's talking about sticking to the honor of the games and sport he's in, instead of making the last place runners feel even worse then they already do by purposely slowing down in a race. it sounds kind of funny to say actually, "purposely slowing down in a race." well either way, i didn't agree at all with it, but i guess if he wants to gloat, then we can't really stop him. I hope that future athletes don't take the same action, and instead focus on what's important... which is the finish line. gloat and celebrate as much as you want afterwards, but during the race just makes it feel kind of demeaning. but i guess in the end, Bolt was just damn fast, and showed impressive ability. we hope that he will be able to compete again, and, as some of you say "get the bonuses associated with breaking records." but not in the olympics, which is the most impressive place to do it. but oh well... oh and who ever made this quote...
"Which story sounds better to you
Usain ran a fast time
Usain ran a fast time while whistling dixie and it be true?" (end quote)
that's inaccurate... it should say...
which story sounds better to you
Usain ran a fast time
Usain ran a slower fast time by whistling dixie and it be true?" or however you said it... and the answer is "the first one" :)
