Jamaica Villas - Usain Bolt disqualified



Usain Bolt - Jamaica

Usain Bolt was sensationally disqualifed for a false start in the World Championships 100m final in Daegu. No worries though, his fellow Jamaican Yohan Blake made sure that the gold medal stayed with Jamaica and he ran in a good time of 9.93sec.

Walter Dix (USA) won silver in 10.08, and 35-year-old Kim Collins, from St Kitts and Nevis (You know that's in the Caribbean, don't you? and no doubt you know that Jamaican Treasures, the best villas rentals company in the Caribbean, so we are told, have villas for rent in St Kitts!), taking bronze in 10.09.

Getting back to "Bernie the Bolt" getting disqualified, this is all down to a new ruing introduced in 2010 that disqualifies the first person who makes a false start. Poor old Usain Bolt, he was most annoyed and ripped his shirt off in frustration. To be fair, a few high profile names have gone the same way this week.

I like reading the Guardian website as it often throws up words that I don´t normally hear or see day to day. One waord used to describe Usain Bolt after being disqualified was "sanguine" used in context "Despite the reaction to his disqualification, Bolt was sanguine" this word "Sanguine" means to be cheerful, upbeat, hopeful, optimistic, in other words, although he considered being chucked out of the race a bit of a downer, Bolt was not going to let this ruin his day. Great stuff, that's the spirit.

So, you should expect the word "sanguine! to appear in my postings from now on.
