55 Interesting Trivia Items Every Dedicated Sports Fan Should Know

Usain Bolt wowed viewers during the 100-meter dash at the 2012 London Olympics. Olympic athletes are at the top of their game and are undoubtedly in the best shape when they compete. That’s why the truth behind Usain Bolt’s pre-run meal in 2012 was so surprising. No, he didn’t eat fancy running gels or a smoothie beforehand. He ate chicken nuggets. 

Yup, the fasted man on Earth chowed down on some processed chicken nuggets from McDonald’s in preparation for one of his best athletic moments ever. There was a reason for his madness, however. Usain Bolt feared London’s local cuisine would mess up his stomach before the big race. As we all know, McDonald’s is beautifully the same wherever you go in the world.
