Micheal Johnson: Bighead or Not?

[groucho]

Although I think he was a superlative runner, there is something about him. What do you think?

[ewenm]

Well known for his strong opinions and his willingness to air them. We might see his 200m record go soon if Bolt has a good run.

Well deserved as long as he isn't on the sauce.

Top fella. Not even sure he's big headed, just knows how good he was.
Bloody good pundit too.
eta: not saying his the model of modesty either...

In sport belief is everything. He comes across as someone who absolutely knows he's the best. All credit to him.

There's nothing wrong with having a big ego.

There's a lot wrong with having a high ego / talent ratio.

Agreed - and he's certainly not afraid to say what he thinks - no matter how unpopular that might be - although it's a realistic comment!

well deserved TBH.

But he is like most americans i've met.

I think he is quite modest for an American who is good at something, never mind being the best.

He's good at not being 100% pro-American though. He is able to admit there are other good athletes out there
