What is breathtaking is that no British news medium seems to have given this any attention.

Date: 2011-09-09 08:56 pm (UTC)This is nothing to do with anything, but I have wanted to say it for a while and I will. Athletics is my favourite sport, and of course nobody could possibly love athletics and not admire Bolt to bits. But I have to say that I have long suspected that behind all the clowning and showboating there was a strong, focused and intelligent personality, and now I am certain of it. When he got his start wrong in the 100mts, he blamed nobody but himself and did not even try to get himself reinstated. Sure, he was visibly angry and frustrated, but that was on the instant. When, the next day, journalists interviewed him, clearly expecting to find an angry nervous wreck, they found a calm, quiet-spoken man who just said that these things happen and that what matters is to deal with it and move on. And he did - spectacularly. That is a man who deserves admiration, not just as a supremely gifted athlete, but as a human being.
