Video: Usain Bolt loses a race

The world's fastest man Usain Bolt was just beaten in a 100 meters track and field event at IAAF Diamond League DN Galan meet Friday in Stockholm  by American Tyson Gay. Tyson finished the race in 9.84 seconds ahead of Usain Bolt. Usain's fastest timing however is 9.58 and that says a lot about his actual speed. 


“Just one of those days,” Bolt said. “I told you I’m not unbeatable. I did not train as hard as in past years, so I can’t complain. And it was Tyson Gay. My congratulations to him. I’m not in my best shape and he is in great shape.... I simply wasn’t ready enough for that clash.”


Usain Bolt however is now trending on the world wide topics at number 1. People on Twitter are talking about it, seems a shock that someone as fast as him can loose so easily. However it goes to show athletes at no 1. cannot afford to take chances and become lax. Usian said himself he has not been training hard enough.

Why Mick Jagger is Trending today on Twitter



Mick Jagger is now a trending topic on Twitter and for a very unusual reason. Mick Jagger is the vocalist of the Rolling Stones, his appearance among the World Cup spectators is believed to have jinxed the English, American & Brazilian teams (even though he attended games where these teams won).

The 4 teams today will be hoping that Mick Jagger doesn't support them. He rooted for USA v GHA , ENG v GER and BRA v NED . All 3 lost.

Now says one Twitter users all four teams who are to play today in the semi finals of the FIFA World Cup 2010, will be hoping Mick Jagger will not be rooting for them.

Mick Jagger if he sees this on Twitter must be at a loss for words. Everyone off course will be waiting to see who Mick Jagger will be supporting today. What do you think?. Is Mick Jagger's presence dangerous to the teams he supports.
