The Athletics Thread (... but predominantly about Bolt)

[Helios Creed]

just gone off him, the man is a scum fan.

that is a terrible thing to say

[red g]

bolts obviously a football whore...he was at the madrid game tonight and is a self confessed madrid fan apparently

[Bender]

yes he's a loyal utd fan
Usain Bolt, fresh from his record-breaking exploits in the 100m and 200m at the athletics World Championships, was presented to the Bernabeu crowd prior to kick-off and launched president Florentino Perez's latest 'galactico' era with the ceremonial first kick.

Was reading somewhere his 2 favourite footballers are Placcy and Gerrard

Tennnnnnnnnnnssssse!

[Shaggy]

Bolt beaten!

[Reece]

Easily

[Shaggy]

Very strange, he ran 9.97 which, ludicrously, is totally slow for him

He just never picked up as he always does. That injury must've ****ed him up.

[Shaggy]

"My first thirty metres is crap"

[Baracus]

bolt was pissed out his head on jamican rum and whiskey thats why his 1st 30m was crap

[Slinky Skills]

Surely a one off.

I hope to god he's not losing his desire to be competitive, it will be a long long time before the world sees anything like this guy again.

Would be sad if he's wanting to give it up.

[MrMichael]

I thought the interview they did with Gay on tv was quite funny - "so, do you think you've got Bolt's number now"..... "ah, no, when he's fully fit he'll always be just too ****ing fast" (paraphrasing obviously)

[Reece]

Ahhh the bit in brackets didn't show up on the real time feed. Most disappointing

[Hollowman]

I don't think he's losing his desire. He has already run in the mid nine-eights three times this year, and that was Gay's first sub nine-nine run of the season. At any championship event Bolt will just hit the switch and go into Sickcom 5.
