Lightning Bolt On Letterman!
It is a source of great pride to see Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt appearing so confidently and positively on the David Letterman show, last Wednesday, September 24, 2008.
Bolt, star of last month’s Beijing Olympics where his three gold medals, two in world record times, seem a natural and he wasn’t intimidated by the auspiciousness of the surroundings either. Check it out:-
The next day Bolt, the first man to win the three Olympic events in a single games since Carl Lewis in 1984, was invited by Spanish football champion team, Real Madrid, to visit their Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to watch a game and train with the club at an undetermined date.
Too often you see greater lights appearing on high profile TV shows and freezing up; Jamaicans included. Other times some embarrass themselves (and their country) with their inarticulate, sometimes incoherent, performance.
I hope we will see much more of Bolt on other high profile programmes soon.
Bigging up himself and Jamaica, of course!
