SILVERRRR MORE LIKE GOLD TO ME

The Stadium is in a HUSH, My heart is racing and so is the rest of my country. USAIN insane BOLT as i call him  Kixing on the Line..while 7 other athletes is deep in focus. BOLT in Lane 3 and our very on Torpedo Thompson in 4 ..yes they were along-side each other and ready to take a place history. As the gun went off  Thompson flew out the blocks like a Rocket, staying patient in his drive phase he was ahead at 50m. Then came the talent of bolt the only man to past Thompson on that Magical night and it took a world record to do so. I ran out the road screaming and hearing the whole of my neighbourhood in  AH frenzzzyyyyy ...is who was wineing, jumping and ready to hit de bar and celebrate. I remember one of my boys saying *Pile boi that man Bad where he come out from* I watched and smiled
 Its a shame to know that it has to take an Olympic final to get known in this country. Leading up a alot of people did not know that Thompson was one of the hottest sprinters in the world. He was undefeated All through his collegiate yr and almost broke our very own Ato Boldon's NCAA 100M record. For 9 seconds the country stopped everything ..NO QUARRELS   NO FIGHTS     NO CRIME ........he won the GOLD in my book

  1. love it..most people who are not in sports however wont be interested in it. Just like we not interested in say "being a pilot" *hypothetically speaking of course*. it is sad that Trinis however have a mentality that they only praise or recognize people when they are at the top. Olympics is one even where people no matter what they like or dislike, tune in to see our athletes compete at the highest level.

    thompson did really great, and liek I said of course you will know all about his acompishments (so did I)..lol but an average person wont.
