I hope he blows them away tomorrow

Everyone in my family (I am together with extended family for the two weeks of the Olympics) hates watching Bolt and they all think he's an egotistical pig but if he's the real deal - not doping and defending his titles - I don't see why he has to act modest and humble all the time in order to be respected as an athlete.

I love watching Bolt in the same way I loved watching coverage of the Mars rover landing. Sometimes the word 'awe' is all that fits.

trojanchick99 · 08-08-2012, 05:34 PM

He just has an exuberant personality. There's video floating around of him stopping an interview because there was a medal ceremony in progress and a national anthem was playing. That's class.

Excited that the BMX has begun. Hope Sarah Walker, Marc Willers, and Kurt Pickard can bring medals home for New Zealand.

Same. I can get 24 or 27 easily, but more than 33 seems impossible.

I wonder what Kobe is talking about here... I bet Steph Rice knows.

Wonder if they've fucked each other yet.

cobl04 · 08-08-2012, 11:55 PM

Without any shred of doubt. Liz Cambage blasted her on twitter. Called her a groupie who needs to get over herself.

intedomine · 08-09-2012, 12:02 AM

She just comes across as bitter. Cambage probably had a crack at Bryant herself and got turned down.

Axver · 08-09-2012, 12:09 AM

At least Cambage is good at her chosen sport.

cobl04 · 08-09-2012, 12:38 AM

Steph Rice used to be really good. She's still really hot, so I still love her.

This.

I think I dislike hubris in athletes in a team sport setting, but, coming from Bolt, it just does not bother me, and part of me likes it. The man is unreal, and as was said earlier, to actually see a talent gap even here at the very top is, indeed, awesome. We're privileged to watch him run.

Axver · 08-09-2012, 01:13 AM

I like Bolt's showmanship. I don't find it arrogant; he knows how to work an audience - both those there and people watching on telly - and he works them well.

Yeah, but have you heard her speak? Thick as bogan shit. Instant turn-off.

bono_man2002 · 08-09-2012, 01:19 AM

Like Y'know, like 200 meters is really, like far and stuff. mygwad!

cobl04 · 08-09-2012, 07:20 AM

Gold in the kayak men's four 1000m!!

And if you thought JB was bad... Tomkins couldn't even contain himself! "YES! COME ON! WE'RE GONNA DO IT! YESSSSSS! WOOOOOHOOOO!"

Axver · 08-09-2012, 07:25 AM

I'm just sick of them replaying Sally Pearson. Apparently the other golds just aren't as endearing as "our Sally".

Vlad n U 2 · 08-09-2012, 07:36 AM

I find her quite irritating to be honest.
