If Fourth Place Medal‘s headline had been the end of the story (“Usain Bolt dumped his girlfriend to focus on London Olympics”) I would’ve disagreed with his decision, but I would’ve understood.
News reports suggest Bolt’s break up with Lubica Slovak, 28, was because of his desire to repeat his double gold/world record Olympic performance in London. The Jamaican swept the sprint events in 2008 and set the world marks in each race.
A source close to Bolt told the Sun, “He will have plenty of time for relationships. At the moment he’s concentrating on his running career and doesn’t want anything to distract from that.”
Being a peak Olympic athlete is an every-second-of-your-life dedication that requires unimaginable sacrifice, no matter how much faster you are than everyone already and no matter how foxy the Slovakian fashion designer you’ve been dating for six months is. An athlete’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets, or whatever. “Sorry, I can’t love you, I HAVE TO RUN A LOT.”
Sadly, that doesn’t appear to be the end of the story. Some sources are saying that the Olympics had nothing to do with Usain calling it quits and that he broke up with Lubica because she’s white, he has a “white woman complex” and couldn’t deal with the backlash from a picture of them kissing. Because if a black guy and a white lady are dating for six months that’s fine, but if they kiss … that’s just too far.
Here’s the pic in question:
If that picture enrages you in any way, please find a rational adult and have them drag you kicking and screaming into 2012. Here’s a quick example of the sh*t they’ve gotten for being depicted as normal people in a relationship:
25-year-old Bolt has come in for criticism from fellow black Jamaicans unhappy that he has chosen a white partner.
One online posting said: ‘Really now Usain! Some successful black men obviously suffer from a white woman complex. You too?’, while another complained: ‘Another one of our men snatched.’
Further protests included: ‘Out of all the girls on this island you pick a snowbunny’, and: ‘These superstars will always disappoint if we depend on them to raise our racial identity.’
So that’s the question — Did Usain Bolt break up with Lubica because he had to concentrate on the Olympics, or because she’s white and strangers couldn’t handle it? Or, did he break up with her because of the racial backlash and just use the Olympics as an excuse? The next question is a two-parter: How is this really any of our business, and how big of a #HOTGOSS graphic can I watermark across their faces?
Here’s to hoping Bolt ended it because of good athlete crazy, and not the bad kind.

Or maybe, and stop me if I sound crazy here, he dumped her so he could be single for the Olympics, where he’ll have the opportunity to hook up with more strange in two weeks than a regular guy does in his entire life.
Not to mention all the random strangers who’ll get excited because they think Omar Little is at the Olympics.
Oh, indeed
Really? No jokes over 9.58 seconds as the reason for the break up? Really…..really….Really?
Did you really want or need me to type that?
No, you didn’t need to type it. I was hoping someone else would comment it before me. #InappropriateTimingTheatre
“At the moment he’s concentrating on his running career…” Yeah when you put it that way it sounds REALLY stupid.
White woman complex is probably better than white woman simplex.
or white woman suplex, a move this site will happily cover.
He broke up with her because of the massive amount of pussy in the Olympic Village.
Also, could someone specifically enunciate for me precisely what “raise our racial identity” means.
Here’s a thought exercise. Try reading that phrase in a stereotypical hillbilly accent. What image accompanies it in your brain?
Reading that in a hillbilly accent brings up Boyd Crowder for me.
I know, and they don’t get backlash for being close-minded racists??!!
No miscegenation. No Bob Marley.
True dat. Norval Sinclair was a straight up playa, son. Skeet skeet.
British Empire represent!
pretty simple white chicks >>> black chicks even donette
I don’t know why, but when I hear the term ‘snowbunny’ I giggle like a schoolgirl. In Bolt’s defense, one of the greatest running legends of our time, Forrest Gump, wasn’t dating girls during his running career. HE. WAS. RUNNING!

Thank you, for saying what needed to be said.
In consolation, this snow bunny does have Beyonce hair, so that should count for something.
Bolt no likey sistahs. Unfortunately he lives ina country teeming with Black women so the whole “ain’t nunna y’all good enough for me now that I’m famous” thing don’t fly. Now if he were an NBA player, the Black women outrage would be drowned out by all his blonde neighbors and fans going “wait, I don’t get it—what’s so bad about white girls?”
You know when I read all of this clap-trap, I realize just how important running traffic through this site, must be to the publishers. Their writers will put up any kind red, rancid meat that they think their readers will chew on. Particularly stories that will bring in female blog readers. This is my first time on this site and quit frankly, I’m just passing through.
If you’ll induldge me a monent, to make some simplistic salient points. We men, just aren’t that complicated. People get so caught up in the racial, class and cultural motivations of men. The truth is, we’re primordially programmed to “SEX” women. The only reason more of us don’t really go buck wild with this genetic programming, is the societal morals that have developed, in modern societies. We’re all regardless of the race, genetically 99% simular.
Such a suppression of our true male natures, this society demands. All the more so, if you’re a young, wealthy celebrity, that’s presented with more ass than all the Yankee stadium, womens room toilet seats.
Who knows if Usain Bolt even reads blogs, or really gives a damn about what people say, in regards to who he’s sleeping with. They’re both adults, making an adult decision, to spend whatever time with each other. Let’s say for the sake of this insignificant, innane article argument he does. Why the hell would I care, he’s pulling down waayy finer ass, than I could ever hope to sniff. Men for all of eternity, have historically “DID”, almost all receptive women they’ve encountered, and those that haven’t been receptive, they’ve mentally lusted after. It’s just a sad reality of human nature, that in wars, the men were killed and the women were taken. If the world had not developed, by way of war, colonialism, slavery etc, we wouldn’t be having this conversation about Usain Bolt
Oh yeah Badger, I’m sending out a fist pound to to you. Young, fine and firm, why would any young man want to experienced that, with any woman, he wasn’t in love with, on his arm. I’ve been to two Olympics and the parties, functions, international flavors, made them unbelievable experiences. I couldn’t imagine what it would be like, being one of the brightest stars of that spectacle.
.
Gonna take a wild guess, do you have this saved somewhere on your computer as “usainboltsex.txt” so you can copy and paste it into the comments section of whatever mentions him?
MAYBE he just doesnt want to be with her anymore….relax people! Black men dump white women everyday. Dont have a heart attack.
