BEIJING — IOC president Jacques Rogge criticized Usain Bolt on Thursday for showing a lack of respect to other competitors after his record-breaking gold medal performances in the 100 and 200 meters.
“That’s not the way we perceive being a champion,” Rogge said.
Rogge hailed Bolt’s achievements, but said Bolt should have cut out the look-at-me flaunting and acknowledged the other athletes.
Having built a huge lead in Saturday’s 100 final, Bolt slowed and pounded his chest before crossing the finish line.
