Going to be a big day today, I’m excited to see Bolt and the soccer final match.
Huge ups to Canada finally medalling in a team sport during the Summer Games.
Go Usain, get that second gold medal. This guy is so cool!!
Why thank you ‘Usain’ for the congrats to Canada and our womens soccer medal!
And I just watched you live on TV in Canada. Extremely entertaining. Sorry your fellow Americans have to wait until tonight…probably verrrry late, until NBC lets them see you.
Worded that wrong – didn’t mean to make it sound like Usain was American (not that there’s anything wrong with that!)
I meant to say “sorry your American friends will have to wait…” Aggh.
