Ah fair enough...thanks guys...btw I've just seen the comment about last nights win on the BBC live text thingy...

0508: "He still has to mature. He is a young man but he should show more respect for his rivals. He should shake hands with them after the finish line. I have no problems with his showboating but it would be good not to have a repeat of the 'catch me if you can' gesture."
IOC chief Jacques Rogge on Usain Bolt


FFS...let the lad have his moment of glory :roll: I'm sure the others weren't too distressed by his celebrations.

Apparently, they met qualification standards, but the AOC, thought as they'd be rank outsiders not to bother sending the team over...

As it turns out they probably would've qualified :roll:
