What Did Bolt Do at the Ostrava Press Conference?

This maybe?

Wow, I was a Bolt fan but that's not classy. He's like a little kid...

Um, the sports world does not rotate around him as he seems to think. Sorry, there are bigger stars out there.

He doesn't speak Czech. What the heck. He was bored.

Like a child. Not a big deal, but no doubt he looks clownish. As far as egomania goes, I have a slight preference for the silliness of Bolt's version over the strutting of Mo Greene. Tyson Gay is a rare breed among male sprinters.

I really hope Tyson destroys Usain this year at worlds. I wouldn't expect it to happen but who knows.

F..ck arrogant shit head..

I don't see the big deal, unless that Czech who was talking is upset about it, we should all let it go.

He's just joking around and having fun. People need to take the sticks out of their asses.

Give me a break! He's just joking around!

he's not being an asshole, he's just being himself.

If this was at an NFL/NBA/MLB Press Conference this wouldn't even be a topic.

Oh wait this is Track, everyone has to be a robot and show no emotion or they're considered too arrogtant.

I think I can tell when someone is bored and joking around and when someone is being an asshole, and Bolt is definitely kidding around.

Everyone needs to lighten up. It's just the "F**k You" shirt that he had on. It was comical. No meant to be a jab at anyone or anything.

In my opinion, we need more people like Bolt in the world of Track and Field. Sure its great to have people like Tyson Gay that are real stand-up guys, but Bolt brings on a personality. And the personality isn't a cocky one (like so many other sprinters in the past), it is one that revolves more around jest than anything else.

So, while everyone goes and throws their hissy fit about Bolt's disrespect and childish actions, I'll sit back and have a good chuckle.

I'm afraid thats the problem, he's is an asshole, as you said just being himself.

Really? Please tell us who that would be. Seriously.

He's obviously having a laugh at the fact that every time he blinks his eyes or lifts a finger, every camera in the room goes off and every armchair jockey in their mom's basement has a little fit and analyzes it -- oh wait, that's you!

Did I miss something? How is this offensive? You know it's a slow day when this makes the news. There's not really a point in picking on Bolt's personality, especially when he's already known for it and it doesn't seem to affect his performance on the track.

His personality will begin effecting his track performances though. Rogge and Liack told him not to celebrate. Bolts car accident earlier this year almost stopped him from competing. His showboating reflects negatively on the sport, himself, and even his country. Eventually this attitude will effect his performance, and worse yet, the view of the entire sport.

It hasn't seriously impacted his performance on the track yet, but soon it will at the rate he's going.

It should be another troubling hint at Bolt's personality, or lack there of.

You are completely off your rocker, gramps.

*THIS* has people ticked off? Are you serious? A track press conference has so little news value, so few photo ops...Bolt *is* the show...the promoters know that.

"there is no such thing as 'bad' publicity". still very true.
