I saw him on Top Gear a while back. Big Star in a reasonably priced car. He was fast in the car too.

Go Usain! Carl Lewis is a prick who got away with doping in 1988 and was protected by the IOC while Ben Johnson had his medals stripped. 2 weeks ago, Lewis repeatedly criticized Mitt Romney, saying “some people should not be allowed to leave the country.” Meanwhile Bolt showed tremendous respect to the U.S.A. last week when he stopped an interview to face the podium and respect the playing of our anthem during a U.S. female star’s gold moment. LOVE seeing Bolt say “no one remembers (Lewis) anymore”. Carl can go to hell.

Carl Lewis? Wasn't he the greatest post-olympiad failure of all time? No product endorsements. No TV commercials. Zero media coverage. No movie offers. Nobody would touch him because he was such a jerk. He peed in everybody’s Wheaties. Or as they say in Hollywood, he was “difficult to work with.” If memory serves he even tried doing a night club act, that lasted one set.

Slightly off topic... I don’t know how serious he is about it, but Bolt has at least been joking that he wants a tryout with Manchester United after the Olympics.

Sounds like Lewis is overloading on sour grapes.

Another cool guy is David Rudisha from Kenya who won the 800M yesterday and set the world record. Glad he won. Great story about him on NBC yesterday.

19.84!? holy crap! my best ever was 22.43 :0

Of course, in high school, I was best at 100m .. 11.68 :/

Bolt could have handled this a little better. Not exactly a class act.
