Usain Bolt

Are you having a laugh ? what are u like ? sound a bit of a t__T to me

We applaud greatness even when it's not British! My GD has a major crush on him and if I was 20, I probably would too.

Amazing runner, Bolt, and so is Blake. Why shouldn't we applaud his achievements?

What a sensational performance , the island will be rocking ,

Wonderful, but I wish they hadn't run it on the same evening as the best 800m race ever, according to Steve Cram, and he should know. David Rudisha broke the world record which no-one else has in the athletics programme. What a shame he was overshadowed by the Bolt and Blake show.

But that is the way things happen .

Nor is he from the USA!

Not that I'm anti USA but they do rather dominate and it's nice to see such seemingly effortless talent from such a joyful person. And Jamaica is sort of family.

Well said *Dumpling" joyful is the right word for Usain. I love the clowning for the camera and the heartfelt gestures of silent prayer. David Rudisha was delightful in his own way. And who will forget in a hurry Kirani James swopping vest numbers with Oscar 'Blade Runner' Pistorius in the semi final. All memorable moments that lift the spirits. Yay for London Olympics

My GD is 6 and is Bolt crazy, don't know where it comes from.

She was in the back of her mums car when the radio presenter said "Well, will Bolt do his magic tonight".

She shouted out "He does magic as well, wow". Bless them.

My GD is 20 and she's crazy about him too! I'm taking her to lunch tomorrow so will no doubt hear all about him again!

Have a lovely day together.

Oh we will. I'm looking forward to the day when she takes me to lunch!

he is undoubtably an amazing and entertaining athlete but i would love to bring him home and feed him stew and dumplings for a few weeks! i realize he has to be lean but he,s very very thin.

Great athletes, wherever they are from, should be celebrated...that is the spirit of the Olympics.. it is great to be a winner but true sports fans recognise and applaud the talent of their peers. Bolt and Farah are mates too!

Don't think Bolt is so very thin! Lots of muscle there - he probably has a big steak for breakfast. Sprinters aren't as skinny as the long distance runners. I suspect that Bolt would make two of Mo!
