Six-time Olympic champion, Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt today called the idea of deleting the 200 meters from the Olympic Games "stupid".
A few days ago, information appeared in the Australian media that the 200 meters is one of the five athletic disciplines that will be excluded from the biggest sporting event.
"I don't usually get into arguments, but this idea is very stupid. Athletics is the main event of the Olympic Games, there's no doubt about that. It's pointless to delete athletics, it's ridiculous. I don't think the IAAF will agree with that," Bolt said. , reported the British media.
Usain Bolt has won six Olympic gold medals so far, three in Beijing in 2008 and three in London in 2012.
