Sprinter Asafa Powell Wants To Nancy Kerrigan Teammate Usain Bolt (Break His Legs)

April 11. 2013

Jamaican sprinter and gold medalist, the charming and charismatic Asafa Powell, did a funny television interview in Australia last week, where he jokingly stated he wants to break Usain Bolt’s legs, for taking his title of the fastest man in the world (get him Asafa - kidding). That's right, Asafa wants to Nancy Kerrigan his teammate Usain.

Usain to Asafa: You're kidding, right? Dude if you ever...

Asafa: he won't see it coming... *Dr. Evil laugh*

During the 1994 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, figure skater Tonya Harding hired someone to jump rival Nancy Kerrigan, hitting her leg with a crowbar with the intent of breaking it, so she could win the competition. However, the press, late night talk show hosts and comedians turned the whole thing into a big punch line. Everyone found it funny except, well, Nancy Kerrigan.

But back to Asafa and Usain, the two national heroes are friends, who joke with each other online, so of course he was kidding. For example, when people on Twitter kept asking Asafa, Usain Bolt and compatriot Yohan Blake to make a remake of the hit film "Cool Runnings" Powell's response was funny.

Asafa shut it down immediately, hilariously stating no, because by the time towering Bolt gets into the bobsled, no one else could fit in it (LOL). I can totally see Blake as "Sanka" from the original film. Yohan has that "long hair don’t care" thing going on like the movie character. I would pay to see that movie. In closing, continued success to them all.

Side Bar: during the interview posted above, the host said they asked his teammates what to ask him. The question they came up with? Ask him if he is the "pumpum king" which is Jamaican slang for "vagina king" as a lot of women like him and he has dated some of Jamaica's most beautiful women. Getting them to ask him that was dead wrong (LOL). Poor thing blushed and couldn't answer.
