maybe you or i wouldn't handle it like that, but he's young and full of himself right now, and a bit of a ham and from a place where they carryon more freely in public. but i didn't think it was anything that they needed to call him out on publicly after he has just wowed the world with two records. everyone in the world is talking about his speed, not that he didn't shake somebodies hand.

to me they come across as stodgy elitists by reprimanding his behavior the day after his feat. christ he is the only big story so far in track and field.
