Re: Jamaica Olympics Central

I think he's earned it - to celebrate however he wants / with whomever he wants, so long as he's not hurting anyone or doing anything illegal, etc ...

Brah man has given years & years to his sport - to his country - he should be able to do as he wants. He's young - let him live.

Re: Jamaica Olympics Central

Just about everyone either fell or had a messed up routine except for the Chinese. It's like they were all just having a really off day... The American who eventually won Bronze, moved like a baby elephant (not saying she's fat, just that she was not graceful). Even she had a bit of a fumble.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Lolo Jones</span>: 'I'm obviously crushed'

Lolo Jones was visibly upset following Tuesday’s 100 meter hurdle race, in which the popular hurdler had to settle for a fourth-place finish, just one-tenth of a second away from a medal.

“It’s my season best, so it’s the best I can do this year,” Jones said. “But obviously I’m crushed.”

Jones’s finishing time of 12.58 seconds her best of the season. And the result is still better than the 2008 Games, when Jones hit the 10th hurdle after leading for the entire race.

“I’m pleased to say at least I can lift my head up a little bit higher and when I tell my kids about when their mom ran at the Olympics, it won’t be a bittersweet memory,” she said. “At least this time it was a clean smooth race. I just wish that I would’ve had a better result.”</span>

I don't mean this in a <span style="font-weight: bold">mean</span> way.

She tried and did her best - that's all one can ask.

Just a shame how the press built her up and was all over her, just because of her looks ...

Maybe wi fi get Asafa a blond designer!!!! </div></div>

Of course, Bolt WAS mashed up by blonde designer sex!!! She did NYAM IM UP!!

Thank God he had time to recover. When he was with her, he was definitely showing signs of strain....the Samson effect. In his 200 metre heat he was back to his old self, not even working up a sweat and not out of breathe. If he hadn't dumped her.... mi sorry fi him. I don't think he has learned anything from his experience though.

Re: Jamaica Olympics Central

Weir was strong. I am just seeing his race now. I hope he gets a medal, He is fun. He was WAY ahead of the field.. by about 2 metres. Glad to see his confidence increasing.
