Yup. Bolt set an Olympic record in 100m with a time of 9.63. Fellow Jamaican Yohan Blake (9.75) and American Justin Gatlin (9.79) took silver and bronze respectively.
Then, Bolt celebrated. Cockiest man alive. Don’t get me wrong. I love it. “Fastest man alive” is nice and all, and I’m sure it goes over really well in bars…but cockiest man alive? That’s something special. Cue all the clowns that say, “it’s not cocky if you can back it up… it’s confidence.” Right. Just keep telling yourself that. I guess I can stop listening to everybody that calls me cocky. Not my fault I’m the best blogger in San Diego. Those are just the facts.
Like that? I just hocked a giant loogie of confidence all over your screen.
