Usain Bolt talks about Sha'Carri: Train more, talk less

Oh snap. Rojo, you think she gonna squirrel over this?

THE man is right!

Where are the clowns who would say "what have you accomplished. I bet shes faster than you🤡" or some such nonsense in response to criticism of Sha Carri's attitude?

It's moments like this where I have a special appreciation for top athletes. Moments where normal people will get ridiculed for having a reasonable opinion, and then a GOAT of a sport will step up and voice that same opinion.

Nothing Bolt said is any different than how a majority of people have reacted to Sha Carri's rise and brief fall. Anybody who defends Sha Carri's behavior since the Olympics is a clown.

A successful athlete with a chip on their shoulder is interesting. A losing athlete with a chip on their shoulder is annoying. Winning will change a lot and if Sha Carri does start winning more people will be back to cheer her on, She's talented enough that hard work will get her back near the top again. But if she wants to be top dog, she will need to mature and adjust some things to her attitude.

You're a jerk rojo. Your mods deleted 3 of my threads about this then you started your own. What's your deal?

*More steroids, less pot

Based on what I have read of Bolt's lack of interest in training (not that he did not train but he seemed to take a laid back approach to it) would tell someone to train more is sort of funny to me.

Usain, the biggest talker of them all, telling others to talk less.

How about this?

My advice to Shelby: train more, dope less

The way things have been going, I would encourage her to compete less, and talk more.

In fact, she should take it to the extreme—talk all the time and never compete. That would be fine by me👍

If there’s one thing that Bolt definitely knows about, it’s keeping his mouth shut.

Lol she’ll comeback with “how many Twitter followers does this Bolt person have?”

Those imaginary internet points sure would have made your week there, eh?

You're misinterpreting. He did train hard, But some of the best athletes don't enjoy training as much as others. But when it's time to race they deliver.

He backed his talk up and then some. Not that I advocate talking big but when you back up big talk with big performances at least you can say "What I said was true. I said I was going to win and I did." When you talk big and then don't back it up you look stupid.

You bet he's right but most intelligent people know that. The question with SR is do we really want to see her succeed?. Is she capable of performing well and NOT embarrassing herself and respecting her competitors while doing so? This isn't MMA and or boxing where talking sh^t is commonplace. The one thing about Usain was that he was respected and liked not only by his competitors but also by the fans. I don't think that SR is smart enough to figure out that this is a winning combination that can be very lucrative.

What does he know about her training?

I’m assuming he’s judging her training by the results.

10.7 sprinters who maintain their training generally don’t regress to 11.1 just because they haven’t competed in a month or 2. It’s not like she was coming back from resting during the off-season.

So he’s actually being gracious by suggesting that she hasn’t been training, because if she had been and these are the results, it speaks to something far more tragic.

Clearly Usain Bolt is racist to be so critical of her.
