Just a guess on my part. You confirmed that he's Catholic. Interesting. I was actually stunned, moved by what he did. My son told me that he makes the sign of the cross before his races.<br /><br />-birdie Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-36225435997331141072016-08-20T11:30:05.708-04:002016-08-20T11:30:05.708-04:00Birdie --

I was shocked to see him make the sign of the cross. I questioned if he was Catholic.<br /><br />-birdieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-91255063832568613182016-08-20T10:47:02.627-04:002016-08-20T10:47:02.627-04:00Birdie --

When I saw Usain Bolt make the sign of the cross before his race, I was impressed. He is a likeable athlete. My kids enjoy watching him compete.
