CUT YOUR NAILS…THERE IS NO EXCUSE

Published August 20, 2012 | By

Yohan Blake

When I congratulated and thanked “The Legend” Usain Bolt I spoke about the criticisms we had to endure. Some of them are good, and I take them. But some of them are mean-spirited and are meant only to hurt.

I am aware of all the talk surrounding my nails especially in Jamaica. It is amazing to me that after all the effort
and hard work and dedication and discipline and success, this is what people choose to talk about.

…

But for my true fans, I will explain them:First of all, my nails grow VERY fast for some reason. Almost as fast as I can run! Many years ago, long before this beast nickname came about, so long ago that I can’t even remember when or why, I got it into my head that if I cut them during competition I won’t run well. It is my superstition. There are many things we athletes do to alleviate the huge pressures
that come with competing. Some of them just don’t make any sense. But we do them anyway! This is what I do. Soon after competition I cut them and look pretty “normal” again.

I know who I am. I know what my values are. And I know how proud I feel to have represented my country at the highest level and to the best of my ability. I am who I think I am. I am not who other people think I am supposed to be.

So I would like to thank my true fans and sponsors for accepting me for who I am and I will continue to do my best for you.
