Insane Bolt

By: Pat While

MIAMI – We have all seen his silly gyrations at the beginning of his races, where Usain Bolt is playing with the audience.

He does some silly dance to some music in his head. He opens his eyes and glares like a mad man and I’m sure its done in all fun and playfulness. Some say it’s helpful to make fun of oneself in times of great pressure and stress. It might help to relax one mentally. Well. it certainly seems to work in Usian’s case. It seems to boost his energy and his confidence level.


Insane Bolt!

Just as he displays silly antics at the beginning of the race, the antics continues at the end of the race. It was something to watch at the end of his gold medal World Record race in the recent 100M at the Olympics. He slows down, looks around with those large (mad man) eyes and beats his chest. This gesture of course implies that I am the King of the Jungle. Then, he takes off his shoe and kisses& nbsp;it as he stands beside the board that displayed his Wold Record time – 9.69 secs.. Who does that. Only Insane Usain. He definitely seems to have a comedic side to him. He does not stop there. He takes off both shoes and does his victory jog bare footed. This is probably how he ran many a times in the hills of Trelawny, Jamaica.

It pays to be a little nutty sometimes. I think we can all confirm that Bolt is a bit Nuts. After all, it does take a nut to fasten a bolt. Why should it be any other way in this case. I digress. But what else is insane about Usain? His World Record time. First, in the Long Island Grand Prix (9.72) and now in the 100M in Beijing (9.69) and thats with him cruising in the end. This is crazy! What’s also maddening is how he slows down at the end of his race and looks from side to side. The is not only maddening, but risky. I would advise against it.

Besides that, you can’t help but love his crazy antics. What can we expect in the 200M? We will just have to wait and see what other Cray tricks “Insane” Bolt has in his shoes.

I officially dub him, Insane Bolt.
