LONDON (Sporting Alert) — Usain Bolt’s 100 metres winning performance to take gold and set a new Olympic Record at the London Games on Sunday was well celebrated by popular sports stars on Twitter.
The Jamaican superstar sprinter who owns the world record, established himself as the world’s fastest man once again when he broke his own Olympic record by clocking 9.63 seconds to win the gold medal and defended his 100m crown.
Following the race, a host of sports superstars, including the likes of Serena Williams, the American star tennis player, Manchester United’s Rio Ferdinand, Chelsea’s Juan Mata, took the time to offer their comments and congratulations to Olympic legend.
Rio Ferdinand: “What a character Bolt is, guys throwing shapes pre race… can’t imagine a football player doing that before the biggest game of their life!’
‘Wow, Usain Bolt… out of this world type athlete! The 100metres final is the best sport to watch in the Olympics…’
There were congrats also from Vincent Kompany, who said: “Nothing more needs to be said, time to all accept Bolt’s supremacy.’
Joey Barton: ‘Bolt = Ridiculous’
Serena Williams: ‘Bolt!!!!!!!’
Juan Mata: “The fastest man on Earth is, one more time, @usainbolt. Amazing!! As @michaelphelps on the water”
Carl Lewis…would it REALLY kill you to say the man is GREAT! He DESTROYED the World Record and Olympic record and you STILL have a problem. Come on….have some class about you! You want to see him run in 4 Olympics before you say something?
bolt doesn't need Carl's acceptance to e called legendary/great/icon etc, after all his performances speak for themselves and Carl is just one opinion.
lmao!!!! love it!!
yuh damn right bout that Jimmy…Carl "Drag Queen" Lewis has an acute case of bad mind…but it still cyaw change di fact that Bolt is a Legend…mek him gweh….who tek drugs like US?
At this time in space, BOLT needs no one's endorsement or acknowledgement, Just like a lightning doesn't need to beg our respect when u get a good shock U will will be shocked. Carl lewis has been so shocked he's delirious and doesn't even know what not to say, or to say. LMBO!
