Jamaica - No Problem.

Well I am rather late in my showers of adoration and adulation towards Jamaican athletics star U-Bolt - nevertheless it is here now. Better late than never, I always tell myself (and I suppose, by then I'd trailing far far behind in Usain Bolt's running dust).

Anyway, I knew about Bolt's lightning fast pace in the Olympics' men 100m race, as well as his infamous stunt: slowing down even before the finishing line. I read the news, saw the people's MSN nicks about him, etc and I have to admit.. He is a world superstar!

Unlike the IOC president Jacques Rogge, I am not going to blast him for his supposed mishandling of celebration style and whatnot. I think it is a fantastic thing, and bloody awesome how even if he slowed down towards the end, he was still far and above the winner.

Bolt was tested for drugs more times than he competed in the races, but to the end he was really confident and laidback about everything. He said, and I quote, "If you work hard and want something enough, you can get it. You don’t have to cheat."

He has inspired me to live a clean life without fear of checks at any point of time.

Jacques Rogge is just a Party Pooper. Like what an article in the newspaper said, Usain Bolt is the fastest man on the planet at this moment; and when the gods come out to play, we mere mortals just have to step aside and let them at it.
