Well, he did demolish them.

 

BEIJING - IOC president Jacques Rogge criticized Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt on Thursday for showing a lack of respect to other competitors after his record-breaking gold medal performances in the 100 and 200 meters. 

 

"That's not the way we perceive being a champion," Rogge said.

....

Having built a huge lead in Saturday's 100 final, Bolt slowed, glanced around with arms outstretched and pounded his chest before crossing the finish line in a world record time of 9.69 seconds.

"I understand the joy," Rogge said. "He might have interpreted that in another way, but the way it was perceived was 'catch me if you can.' You don't do that. But he'll learn. He's still a young man."

...

Bolt made little effort to congratulate the other runners as he wrapped himself in a Jamaican flag and set off on a solo victory lap. Swaying to the reggae music on the stadium loudspeakers, he walked barefoot around the track, putting his face inches from a TV camera, raising an index finger and yelling, "I am No. 1! I am No. 1!"

I should also like to note that he pretty much stole Yung Daba's favorite expression ("I'm #1! Da best! You can be #2 though.")

Here's the video too:

The CBC coverage of the run last night painted a different picture.  They were praising him for bringing a culture of brotherhood to the sprinters. They said that before him sprinters were all about posturing and chest flexing (much like yung daba).

But now theres more smiling and freindship amoungst the runners, as his playful and easy going nature has spread to the other competitors.

The cbc also showed more of that American dude's celebratory antics before he was DQ'ed for stepping on the line. I couldnt help but feel wack for that guy.

 Rogge rips the wrong guy

 

BEIJING — Jacques Rogge is so bought, so compromised, the president of the IOC doesn’t have the courage to criticize China for telling a decade of lies to land itself these Olympic Games.

All the promises made to get these Games — on Tibet, Darfur, pollution, worker safety, freedom of expression, dissident rights — turned out to be phony, perhaps as phony as the Chinese gymnasts’ birthdates Rogge was way too scared to investigate.

 

One of the most powerful men in sports turned the world away from his complicity. Instead, he has flexed his muscles by unloading on a powerless sprinter from a small island nation.

 

Rogge’s ripping of Usain Bolt's supposed showboating in two of the most electrifying gold-medal performances of these Games has to be one of the most ill-timed and gutless acts in the modern history of the Olympics.
