  6. FORMER OLYMPIC MEDALLIST OBA THOMPSON SPEAKS OUT http://i.imgur.com/GTnc1.jpg Oba Thompson upset but not surprised by the treatment of Kim Collins (fmr. 100m World Champ from St. Kitts & Nevis). "My hat has long been tipped to Sir Kim Collins. He was not the fastest guy in the world in terms of raw speed, but he was one of our generations best Championship sprinters and a true warrior. Regardless of the details, it is a SHAME how officials who are NOT the ones training and facing immense internal and external pressures to compete well, can make certain decisions. (...) If only people knew how "easy" the Jamaican, US, British, Canadian, etc. athletes have it. Let Bolt or Gay run for one of our truly small [minded] countries and you would probably not know much about them. Why? I'll get to that in a few moments. Sure, guys like Bolt, Blake, Gay and Powell are phenomenal talents, but they are living the good life because others paved their paths. Bolt is BOLT because of the revolutionary and awesome Jamaican tradition which began 60 years BEFORE he emerged! He comes from country which produced the likes of Arthur Winter, George Rhoden, Herb McKinley, Lennox Miller, Don Quarrie, Bert Cameron, Ray Stewart, Merlene Ottey, etc., etc. He is a product of a system that allows his talents to be FULLY harness with minimal hiccups. He has NEVER had to go to Championships with inadequate gear or without medical staff. Or stand on a podium after winning and see the wrong color flag and not hear the Jamaican anthem! I can tell you all stories...believe me! Surveying my career - what and who I had to fight from my own country, the poor equipment that I had for early in my career, walking into big stadiums of 100k people and seeing NO Barbados flag or colors except the lone official flag hanging high up in the stadium, having no teammates to talk to in my event as I was processed through the call rooms, etc. before I ran, and several (not all, but many) incompetent or unprepared or petty power-hungry officials. Doubt me? Consider this: I had the same time as Ato Boldon in the 200m Finals at the Sydney Games in 2000, but the Barbados athletic officials DID NOT even file a protest within the 30 minute window after the event (athletes cannot file protests on their own behalf)!!!! Result: Boldon 3rd and I came 4th. Reason given: It would have cost $100 USD to do it! Wow, so all my hard work for years, all the national pride that we could have amassed if it was deemed that I was ahead of or tied with Boldon thereby giving our country it's second Olympic medal as an independent nation, was not even worth a walk to the official protest room and $100 USD. After the Allyson Felix/Jeneba Tarmoh situation this year at the US Olympic Trials, who know...and trust me, I've had photo finish results re-read on the circuit and been bumped up. Ironically, days later when I was asked by top Jamaican officials at those Games about my protest and I told them that none was made, they were completely dumbfounded and angry. They told me that that would never happen if I ran for them (re: their protest for Merlene Ottey v. Gail Devers in the 100m at the 1996 OG in Atlanta). Where were MY NATIONAL TEAM OFFICIALS when I needed them most??! You tell me Bolt or Gay will ever face this in their career? You know how difficult it is to find the emotional energy to fight your own people then go out and line up and take on the world in events measured in thousandths? Source Thoughts?
  7. Czech Takes Off Her Panties on Olympic Stadium http://l.yimg.com/os/274/2012/08/07/1-jpg_182231.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STU6I7alp0o With a smile on her face Klucinova continue with the change, without displaying an ounce of flesh to the cameras. In just a few seconds had her panties in her hand and placed meshes. And was ready to continue competing. Source Attention hoe. <_<
  8. Spike Lee working on Michael Jackson film Spike Lee has revealed he is close to finishing a Michael Jackson documentary marking the 25th anniversary of the singer's Bad album. http://www.leewardstimes.com/images/stories/729/_61509941_61505140.jpeg The director said the footage to which he was given access was a "treasure chest of findings". "We have footage in this documentary that no one's ever seen - stuff that Michael shot himself and behind the scenes stuff,"he said. The film is due to be released later this year. It tells the story behind the 1987 album, the record-breaking world tour it led to and the short film music videos it spawned. These include the video promo for the title track, directed by Martin Scorsese and featuring the actor Wesley Snipes. "We had complete access to the vaults of Michael Jackson," Lee said. "He wrote 60 demos for the Bad record. Only 11 made it. "We got to hear a lot of that stuff, too, so it was just a great experience." The documentary features 40 interviews Lee conducted with Jackson's confidants, choreographers, musicians and other collaborators. He also includes interviews with Kanye West, Mariah Carey and Sheryl Crow - who was a backup singer on the Bad tour - about the album's lasting influence. Source
