Jacques Rogge, chairman of the International Olympic Committee, made a total twat out of himself by suggesting that Jamaica’s Usain Bolt, a triple gold-medal winner, should tone down his celebrations out of courtesy to fellow competitors.

Apparently this genius finds the post-race antics of the winner of the 100m, 200m and relay sprints, all in world-record times, offensive.

He’s lucky I’m not Bolt.

If I were whupping the rest of the field in the same way that Bolt was, I’d be obnoxious. As I got the finishing line I’d turn to Asafa Powell and tell him: “Yo, Asafa, I said let’s finish this off so we can go and watch Rocky VI, I’ve already seen it, I can’t stand here all day waiting for you to get here. Next time I’ll walk so you can keep up!”

Worse, I’d ask Walter Dix and Darvis Patton, the US finalists: “Guys, what time do your sprinters get here?”

Dear, oh dear, oh dear!

When Rogge started crapping all over me, I’d tell him that I was sorry but I could’t hear him because I walked slightly faster than the speed of sound.

Prat!

I couldn’t have written it better myself. Rogge is out of touch with what’s going in athletics. What is he famous for anyway?? Someone said “yatchie” Lol…

Thanks Lulu - He’s the record holder for the most stuffing in a shirt competition.

Rogge. What a “d**s”! I bet Usian Bolt can run faster backwards than most people can talk shyte.

I truly believe that sportsmen in the League of Extraordinary Human Beings (Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, Usian Bolt, Phelps etc) own the right to be arrogant/cocky. In other words, bloody GOOD!
