yea, Gatlin also handled the NBC ambush well. Tori Bowie? LaShawn Merritt?
Definitely not Bowie. She seems super nice, chill and humble. Said she had the easiest part of the relay. And not shabby having a medal of each color.
Dafne Schippers. Not nice.

The least amiable athletes U ever met was the duo of CJ Hunter and Marion Jones. When others were shaking hands and taking pictures, some for 10 minutes, CJ walked in front of Marion with his hand out ready to stiff arm any autograph or picture taking fan.
My wife & I had exactly the same experience with Hunter, on separate occasions, during the 2000 Trials. Total jerk.

I dunno about that . . . a friend and I chatted with him after he'd done a workout the day before the Pre Classic (this was about a year before his drug positive). He was quite friendly with us two strangers. We talked about other athletes, his agent, and other things.
It's gotta be Dibaba.
It was Schippers.
Evidence:
She clearly is a bitch and, of course, doped to the gills.

I ran into Asbel Kiprop at a supermercado in Rio a couple weeks ago. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?â€
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?†but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?†and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.†At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,†and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
I love this story

Wow, she sounds like an even bigger jerk than Bolt.

Field events? Doubtful a running blogger cares to interview them. Hurdles? The same.
Could have medaled in a relay and not done well individually.
Merritt.

That what I thought.
Is it possible it wasn't even a runner? Like Phelps? If it was, maybe Galen?
Possibly Renaud Lavillenie?? He seems he can be a little caught up in himself at times, and he had some very negative comments after his silver in the PV behind the Brazilian Thiago...
Marion Jones was actually nice on her own (yeah, I know she did drugs), which is why advertisers loved her. C.J. Hunter was never even vaguely civilized, he was a real creep. Back at the time, folks had a hard time figuring out why Jones, who was smart and articulate, was hooked up with him.

Also in Rio wrote:Whhhhaaaaat? That's crazy talk. Asbel Kiprop was as cool as hell. He signed autographs for my kids and encouraged them to start running and do well in studies. One of the favorite experiences of the Games for me.
Exactly. Kiprop one of classiest runners out there and that story is offensive.
For those who are not so literal-minded, the Kiprop story was plainly a joke, and a pretty funny one.

In Rupp's case that would only be if Salazar was providing crowd control and limiting access to his star pupil. No Rupp-access allowed!!!

This "journalist" isn't Rupp-certified.

I doubt it was Merritt. He always seems pretty chill with fans as another poster said, and as this photo shows:
