The second name that a lot of people will remember (after Michael Phelps) is Usain Bolt, the sprinter from Jamaica who was quite confident (and flambuoyant) with winning his gold medals. Not only did he break the world records, but he did it while celebrating BEFORE crossing the line. This video is absolutely perfect for summing up how I view him.

And as a side note, why don’t they use bigger guns?
