13. He Doesn’t Take Disrespect Lightly
When his opponents disrespect him, Bolt doesn’t take it lightly. When Yohan Blake defeated the sprinter in the 200m race at the 2012 Jamaican national championships, he pressed his finger against his lips as a signal to Bolt. The sprinter said it gave him “such a fury” to see Blake tell him and the rest of the field to “keep quiet.” This anger drove Bolt to dominate Blake in the 100m and the 200m races in London. Bolt took home the gold medals, and Blake was stuck with the silver.
