6-foot-5 Jamaican sprinter Usain "Lighting" Bolt has won gold and broken the world records in both the 100 and 200 meters. His 19.30 in the 200 broke a 12 year old record held by Michael Johnson. But many say his showboating has overshadowed his victories.

In all seriousness though, this dude is FAST. He dominates. Can't wait to see what he has in store in the future. I bet he smashes his 100m record again. It was usainly awesome watching him run.

I'm even MORE proud 2 be Jamaican. Only we would remember how Usain has been a champion from his participation in high school track meets during his teenage yrs. 4 yrs ago in Athens, he was terribly injured & couldn't finish a race. THIS'S A PAYBACK. He SHOULD celebrate. I've NEVER seen any other national not triumphant after winning gold @ the Olympics.

If it was an American no one will say anything, but he is a JAMAICAN so such Americans r u going to think is showboating. For expample look at the Americans basketball team, they r showboating by beating the other team by all lot.

Nothing wrong with celebrating, but jeesh, show a little humility.

mario7-
Doesn't matter what nationality he was. He has a major ego, and so do some Americans too (I didn't see the basketball team, but I can believe it). But did you see Michael Phelps or the women gymnasts boasting how utterly amazing they were?

OrlandoLuver, Phelps was relatively modest this Games, but going into Athens he was an egotistical douche. I think he's matured.

Usain does need to tone it down. And he also should have run through the line in the 100. It's disrespectful to the sport and the record not to post the best time you can.

Who cares if he shows off? He deserves it. He is fast. P.S: I'm American.
