Yes a pretty classy move.
Have to wonder how many american athletes would do the same when another nations anthem is played
Thanks for posting this: complete class.
He wasn't showing respect to the U.S.
He's good friends with Sanya. STUPIDS.

Someone should really tell USATF that she is Jamaican then!
She is an American through and through.
Well, NBC police have blocked it. Wouldn't want someone to see footage not on Prime Time with Ryan Seacrest.
Dumb Fvcks at NBC.

People seriously underestimate who Bolt really is because of he likes to deal with the intense pressure of the sprints by clowning around. People think that Bolt is so talented that he doesn't take thing seriously. Bolt is actually an excellent student of the sport and has tremendous respect for the Olympic Games. He has given tons of his time to doing media appearances around the world to help promote the sport, something you do not see from many other pro athletes of similar stature.
The guy is intelligent, hard-working and very personable. I'm full of nothing but respect for Usain Bolt and I'm so happy he came along at a time when track & field was becoming devoid of great personalities.
I'm sure the Jamaican accent enhances people's perception of him as lazy and careless, even stupid. Have you ever watched a movie where the guy with the Jamaican accent wasn't a stoner or a criminal or both? Sorta like how people with Southern accents are perceived as stupid.
(When in fact there are actually five or six people in the South who are smart.)
