Big up to Thompson!!! That man was so happy I couldn't help but feel really happy for him!!! Imagine... nobody gave him even a nod for a medal. He came up with silver behind a freak of nature!!!

As you've seen I've been supporting the WI all the way on Imix. I'm sure you can drop Fraser, VCB (Couldn't give a shit about Omar Brown's presence tbh), Stewart(Stewart have too much muscle for me tbh) or/and Simpson's cell numba in my PM Box

Thanks in Advance.

coincedentally this fall from grace comes after the drug scandal ripped open the heart of track and field. Makes you wonder if they would have been ahead of us all those times in the past too. Now that its up to JUST talent we seeing who the real winners are.

Carl Lewis's positive test covered up - smh.com.au

is the above true? That Carl Lewis had a steroid cover up and Ben Johnson took all the blame?

Listen for every 1 "decent" there are about 10 exceptional that they probably tried to get b4 him but they decided on other school. Often ppl go for who is ready NoW not someone that needs time for moulding.

I think the 2 inches in height would add to his competitive edge if he's to ever beat Bolt.

(to all those who will come an say he can never do it thats not the way you will think as an athlete who wants to win. In order to win you can NEVER think the best you can get is 2nd)

Ato bigging up Richard Thompson more than anybody would ever know... NBC hired him to provide commentary on the Olympic sprint events, not to be Thompson's cheerleader. The mentoring and professional guidance Ato providing him is way more important than any "big up".
