For being the world's fastest man and one of those
technically proficient athletes in human history, Usain Bolt has one
noticeable flaw: He's slow off the blocks. As he demonstrated this week
at a meet in Oslo, he also could use some work in stopping.
Bolt nearly ran over a flower girl as he tried to hit the brakes
after his victorious 9.79 in the 100 meters at the international Diamond
League meet. As the Jamaican slowed to a jog while making the turn on
the track, a group of photographers, handlers and greeters swarmed. The
three-time Olympic gold medalist ran directly into a flower bearer and
nearly knocked her over. He was somehow able to keep his new friend
upright by dragging her a few meters as he slowed.
Bolt gave the smiling flower girl a hug after the run-in.
