Jamaica's Usain "Boast" Bolt won the 100m race at the Areva meet in Saint-Denis, France today. His time was 9.79, just a bit shy of Tyson Gay's time of 9.77 that he ran last week at the Golden Gala meet in Rome. Payback is a mutha!! Just kidding, Bolt is still the fastest man in the world right now. Have to keep in mind that the two weren't facing each other in the races where they earned their times. I respect Usain's talent, but I have also acquired a sour taste in my mouth for him after his unsportsmanlike antics during the 2008 Summer Olympics. Nothing worst than an athlete who is phenomenal, but with a HUGE ego. I know Usain is young and new to the running game compared to some of the other athletes, but he needs some lessons in decorum. And it didn't help that our boy Tyson had one of the worst experiences of his career last year at the Olympics, suffering an injury that took him out of the competition in the eleventh hour. Actually, the whole American team seemed to be visited by one big schleprock! (Remember him from the Flinstones cartoon?) So, I am eagerly hoping that this trend of Tyson edging Bolt out with his runnig times continues. America has a big score to settle with those Jamaicans.....
