The Olympic officials are really trying to stick it to Usain Bolt (the Jamaican that ran circles and broke records on the other 100m runners). They had alot to say about him:
IOC president Jacques Rogge criticized Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt on Thursday for showing a lack of respect to other competitors after his record-breaking gold medal performances in the 100 and 200 meters.
“That’s not the way we perceive being a champion,” Rogge said.“I have no problem with him doing a show,” Rogge said in an interview with three international news agency reporters. “I think he should show more respect for his competitors and shake hands, give a tap on the shoulder to the other ones immediately after the finish and not make gestures like the one he made in the 100 meters.”

Get over yourselves! He did no more than what Michael Phelps did after his relay wins. Why the hypocrisy?
Sidenote: Usain Bolt turned 22 today! Happy Birthday Speedy!
