Barbadian Thompson concentrating on Beijing Olympics

Barbados' top male sprinter and lone Olympic medallist in an individual event, Obadele Thompson, said his decision to skip this month's Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia, was to give his aching body enough time to recover from the injuries he's been suffering from for the past two years.
The man who ran the fastest-ever 100 metres under any conditions, at 9.69 seconds at high altitude in Texas, USA, in 1996, said his mind was well set on competing at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, and wants to give his body sufficient rest so as to make the right preparation for the Games.

*Wine up if yuh glad fuh oba*... Oba boy yuh right... don't let we selfish bajans kill yuh. When yuh get de bronze, I hear stink mout people saying yuh shoulda concentrate on one race, not the 100 AND 200. People in the best of conditions struggle to get any sort of olympic medal at all, so dem cuh really hush. Bajans are leeches man... suck yuh dry when you doing well, and aint offering yuh a cent towards a pair uh socks. Shaka getting he face burst up boxing, and gotta beg like a dooog for sponsorship... But when he win a fight.. wuh.. schupes, it does be all over the news. Don't talk bout Ronald "Suki" King, who does gotta wash Suzukis to fund his extrondinary talent. But we got enough money to fund preparations for Cricket World Cup 2007 and de WI team ain't even winning a TEDDY BEAR these days (who incidentally are PAID for what they do... or don't do). schupes!

*After reading this post, 3,432 bajans will sing the oba song and shake their bam bam.
