Wreckless, Somewhat Irresponsible, Rumor Thread

Let's hope so.

Rojo, you must not read your own messageboard very much, that's what this place is all about! Welcome aboard!

The question is whether Bolt might run on the Jamaican 4X1.

But these rumors are usually started by the people running the meets. Asafa Powell was scheduled to race two years in a row at Mt. Sac. He scratched both times. Same thing with Dwain Chambers this year--only ran the 200.

The managers of these meets don't have the money to pay people like Bolt, Powell, and Gay (not sure what Wariner is getting from Drake for the 400, if anything), so they make announcements or start rumors to create interest.

Money? Bolt has his whole career to be making money. If I were his agent, or one of his people, even the damn the Head of Tourism for Jamaica I would have him run the Penn Relays. Its probably one of the most known meets in America, and a way to really connect with the true fans of all ages. It could curtail into some big big results if he happens to run well.

...on the other hand I really can't wait to see that American HS 4x8 relay team trounce on Jamaica's 19yo group. Could the indoor WR holding Albemarle, VA boys get at least an outdoor HS record????

Wreckless? Seriously?

It would be smart for him to come to this meet. Huge crowd, enthusiastic Jamaican fans, American TV (even if it's only ESPN2), and he doesn't have to risk tarnishing his reputation in individual events. He's got the rest of the spring and summer to gouge Europeans for appearance fees.

What it hasn't crashed yet has it?

What are the HS,Junior,College, National and Allcomers records for this relay?

thanks

ps no Bolt

He should run all four legs of a 4x100 and see what happens.

With temps on Sat supposed to get to the low 80's and sunny - Penn should see some major crowds, not to mention some very fast times. Bolt would have a great time.

Does anyone know if he ran Penn as a prep?

yes bolt did run as a prep at penn relays. i think he ran on their olympic development 4x4 team and he ran a good leg.

Wreckless?!?! Just when I think you and wejo cannot get any worse with your typos and misspellings, you get worse.

Wejo should be capitalized, as it is a name.

He said in a recent interview that his main goal is to the first track athlete to earn $10 million a year between endorsements and appearance fees. The article went on to say that this year is all about the appearance fees. It was on Eurosport I believe.

"Wreckless" was good enough for Wreckless Eric
