What does Usain Bolt do that makes him so arrogant/cocky?

Question

I just watch the races, I don't care about the interviews later, but what does this guy do to be called arrogant? Is it about how he slows down before he finishes the race or something?

I'm seriously confused.

Answer 1

He isn't at all, it is b.s

It is not necessary for him to go full out because he is amazing. But yes, that is the reason why people are accusing him of being arrogant\cocky. Annoying eh?

Answer 2

He starts dancing at the end of a race which people think is arrogant but I think he is entitled to that because he just beat like 8 other men by a lot. He's just having fun and he doesn't really say anything that would make him seem cocky. When you say, "I'm the world's fastest man, unbeatable" and stuff like that, it is fine if you actually are the world's fastest man. If he is cocky and arrogant, he has every right to be that way. He is extremely talent and blessed with natural ability.

Hope this answered your question!

Answer 3

he doesn't take it seriously, and makes it look like it was a walk in the park EVEN MORE  then it already looks,  but he is the FASTEST MAN so he has the right to do that  

Answer 4

he was burning everyone even when he is pounding his chest

Answer 5

Yeah, that and the fact that he beated Americans on his way to glory.

Answer 6

He's not cocky at all ,people are just jelous that thier country cant beat him, and by him slowing down before he finishes isnt being cocky, its not necessary for him to go full speed in his races to win so why would he waste his energy when he has more races? He is an amazing athlete

Answer 7

Mr Bolt is definitely doping and I have every right to believe that!!!!

Answer 8

Hey Titus... you should really learn the definition of the word hero before you start calling Usain Bolt your hero. And if "he's owning all the American Sprinters" is your reasoning, then your logic is majorly flawed. And yes, the boy is arrogant. As far as I'm concerned, he doesn't even belong in the same book with Michael Johnson, Jesse Owens or Carl Lewis. Maybe in terms of medals and records, yes, but his attitude needs a serious adjustment. How about showing some humility. And the Olympics is not about the individual feat alone... it's about honoring your country and other countrymen which he does not do. Ask Emmit Smith (former Dallas Cowboy tailback) why he never spiked a football when burning into the endzone for a touchdown.... "because champions and professionals should act as though they've been there before". This is what separates Usain from the company of Mr. Johnson, Mr. Owens and Mr. Lewis. Think about that before you post again.  

Answer 9

I don't know if we just don't understand him or if he really is cocky. Maybe he's just proud of himself, but all the chest pounding can be taken as arrogance.

Answer 10

like 15 yards from the finish he spread out his arms and started pounding his chest

Answer 11

he's unsportsmanlike like and arrongt and foreigners defend that type of behavior, pathetic.

Answer 12

steroids

Answer 13

are you blind? he doesnt respect the other competitors once he gets ahead he starts to put his hands up and pound his chest, and then when they talk to him hes like i dont care, u must not watch sports that much because thats what people call "unsportsmanship"

Answer 14

He is my hero because he's owning all the American sprinters. Michael Johnson couldn't carry Bolt's jock straps.

Answer 15

That's exactly what it's about- and all of the hand gestures he makes, and he pranced around for about 4 minutes straight after the race was over. Slowing down was an insult to everyone in the race - "I'm so much better than you, I don't even need to try hard - even in the olympics!)

Answer 16

you don't like it beat him

Answer 17

So what he still won the race and he is still fast.I have seen a lot more arrogant behaviour from a certain other male athlete from a different country and no one complains about him.
