For tennis fans around the world, the start of summer is also the start of Wimbledon. The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, known best for its air of gentility, its fresh grass courts and chalky white lines, its sweet strawberries with cream, is now also the place where the Grand Slam Committee will meet this week to discuss ... grunting.

The noise, emitted by tennis players as they swing their racket and make contact with the ball, is described as grunting, shrieking and even sometimes screaming.

Famous players, including Michelle Larcher De Brito, Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal are known for their unique grunts. But when the high-pitched scream of a player in last month's French Open resulted in serious complaints from her opponent, the Grand Slam Committee decided a new rule on noisy distractions might be in order.

&quot;We are talking about an incessant, nonstop, active grunting that's almost shrieking,&quot; says Christine Brennan, sports columnist for USA Today. And Brennan is concerned that grunting is becoming more an issue of gamesmanship than technique.

&quot;It's time to crack down on this,&quot; she insists.

The antics just look bad man. In addition the bunny ears ting weh Usain pull pan di man dem was jus childish IMO. </div></div>

My mother said when she saw Usain jump on the podium she thought 'mine yu drop an hurt yuself' den she say she people from the other countries start jump to so she say rahtid Usain a trendsetter. Anyway I think it all depends who is doing it no athlete was more braggadocious and full of him self like Muhammad Ali and oonu know that was a part of his persona that people loved. Ain't nothing wrong with some swagger <span style="font-weight: bold">WHEN YOU CAN BACK IT UP!!! </span>

So is the same when a football (soccer) player score and take off him shirt or dance or whatever... I want something fi jump up and dung like Shelly-Ann Fraser did after the 100 m. I see it as they are very happy and they are having fun. Never like the mascot period.
