Wow, I immediately have much more respect for the guy. I had pretty much formed an opinion of him, with his silly antics and all.

which is why it's not a good idea to form opinions on people based on some silly antics. |

People who act like fools are going to be considered fools. That's pretty much a fact of life. |

define "acting like fools". I watch Bolt, and I see a guy having a lot of fun, not acting like a fool. |

If I was smoking everyone in the 100m I'd be pretty jovial too. Our own Willie Gault was known to celebrate on the football field and I certainly enjoyed Ron Slay's antics on the court.
IMHO there's a difference between having a good time and taunting. It might be goofy at times, but it's not poor sportsmanship.

When I watch Bolt, I see a tremendous athlete who is still immature at 26. There's a fine line between having fun and disrespecting your competitors in the world's biggest games. Kudos to him for acknowledging our anthem, but I still don't like him. Don't forget that the IOC ripped Bolt in '08 for his pompous behavior. |

Nothing irks me more than an athlete gesturing during a race. |
