Was Usian Bolt being cocky in the 2008 Olympics Mens 100m dash?

Question

When he threw his arms in the air and started pounding his chest, before he broke the world record? In your Opinion...

Answer 1

Honestly i really dont.

Think about you have trained for so long and worked really hard.

And it is a competitive sport and you have to be competitive or you wont get anywhere in the 100m.

So when he realized he had won he was so happy and proud of himself.

He should be allowed to celebrate shouldnt he?

xo

Answer 2

phelps does the same thing on many of his race....so no  

Answer 3

Yes, he was. He was rubbing it in someone face I guess. Been interesting to see how fast he would have run it if he didn't pull his stupid stunt

Answer 4

a bit rude to the other competitors

Answer 5

Yeah, he was. I can understand his excitement, but I think he could have contained himself until the race was completely over.

Answer 6

I think that's how he expressed himself and it's totally natural. Will this question be posted if it was an  American ?

Answer 7

he could have gone faster if he didnt do that and have a better record.

so i think, a little.

Answer 8

no he went from bein under a papya tree with like 30 cents to his name and know is world famous dont cry that hes bein a show off or w/e

Answer 9

yes

he is deff on something in my opinion

Answer 10

Possible, I would never act like that but I'm a different person, more humble.

Answer 11

yes. i personally think he's stuck up in the way he acts before/during/after races.

Answer 12

yeah but hes aloud to be lol hes got blazing speed, but he should have better sportsmanship then that

Answer 13

at first i thought yes...but after seeing what a joker he was

i think he was just proud

Answer 14

No he was just celebrating his win at the olympics . I think he also knew he was going to crush the world record So No I don't .

Answer 15

i would have done the samething he did. like he said he didn't expect to break the world record and when he was ahead of everyone else he probably got amazed and started celebrating

Answer 16

kind of

I think that like sometimes he's okay but them sometimes he crosses the line and gets pretty full of himself... I mean he's insanely good but no matter how good you r u still have to have good sportsmanship!!

Answer 17

In my opinion...

Not at all!

You're welcome.

Answer 18

Yes, he was. I agree with mandy. He blew away the field, and was celebrating in the process. Anyone who runs the 100 knows you need to give it your all, there is no room for antics.
