As reported by NESN, the Jamaican sprinter was asked about Jesse Owens and Carl Lewis. After giving some praise to Lewis, Bolt quickly made some controversial statements about Lewis.
"Carl Lewis, I have no respect for him," Bolt told reporters. "The things he says about the track athletes are very downgrading. I think he's just looking for attention because nobody really talks about him.
"That was really sad for me when I heard the other day what he was saying. It was upsetting. I've lost all respect for him. All respect."
What do you think of Bolt's comments?
