Olympics and Bolt

Why is NBC being attacked from not showing enough of Jamaican sprinter Bolt?  Who truly cares, is what I think?  I mean, let's be real here.  True, the guy smashed a world record, but he did not do it with grace and elegance like numerous other Olympians that have broken records through the years displayed.  I mean, what was up with the fist pumping, hands waiving, and smiling prior to winning the race.  I am happy for the man.  He is a true talent and giant amongst those speed demons out there.  So why all the drama?  Why wouldn't this guy run hard throughout the race and win with dignity?  I don't know?  It has to have something to do with the fact that maybe he is a God given talent as opposed to a hard worker with talent.  Whatever the deal is, Bolt received enough attention for his race.  The bottom line is that the 100M is not the talk of the Olympics this year,  Michael Phelp's and the rest of the USA Men's Swim team were.  For what it is worth, I never liked swimming events prior to this years Olympics and probably will never watch them again...but the 100M, who cares?  An American didn't win!!!
