The High Cost of Gold

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt continued racking up Olympic gold medals and international accolades as the fastest man alive during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Olympians, of course, train day in and day out during the years leading up to the Games for their one moment in time (Whitney Houston reference fully intended).

Reportedly, Bolt dumped his girlfriend, the lovely Lubica Slovak, this past spring to focus on preparation for the London Games. I find it a little hard to swallow that Bolt would discard a gem like Slovak for the gold. Then again, the sacrifices for Olympic glory are are often far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like ourselves.

Today's chick pic is a visual depiction of that sacrifice.

Bolt is a better man than I am. 1

By better man, I mean, "Out of his damn mind." 2

Have you notice a recurring theme here? She has most of her clothes on in all of these photos and looks beautiful! I'm not sure what made Usain bolt from this lovely creature (pun also intended), but I think Mr. Bolt may need a few volts of shock therapy; to ditch her for a few extra laps is crazy!

Is it too soon to cue Bill Duke? 4



No, it's not too soon.

Another love bites the dust...or in Bolt's case, eats his dust. 6
