e, a, b2, and everyone else i ever watched the Olympics with, stared incredulously at the McDonald’s commercials we saw during the games. “Who would possibly eat that crap while training?” we sneered, gleefully. Well, at least one of them: Usain Bolt, the fastest man on earth.
… Bolt has the prime of his career still to come. If anything derails him, it could be his junk food diet. To fuel up for both his world-record dashes, Bolt said, he ate Chicken McNuggets from the McDonald’s at the Olympic Village.
Like Phelps, who shovels in all manner of food to keep from losing weight, Bolt is at an age when he can be cavalier about nutrition.
“You want the truth?” Bolt said. “I got up at 12. My masseuse brought me nuggets, of course. I’m serious. I didn’t want to go to the cafeteria. I went straight to the track and my masseuse brought me more nuggets.” (San Francisco Chronicle)
Sweet. Too bad I’m not an Olympic athlete. Most exciting thing fast-food wise that happened to me in the last six months was running south of the border with Brice before seeing Radiohead. Although that doesn’t include the occasional late night drunken run to Dick’s, a Seattle landmark.
