Usain Bolt claims he ate a ridiculous amount of Chicken McNuggets while in Beijing for the 2008 Olympics. McDonald’s must be loving this (see what I did there? Lol)!! Also keep in mind that he won 3 gold medals when you read just how many he ate. Crazy. Check it out…
Via YahooSports:
In his newly published memoir, Bolt reveals that during the two weeks of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, he scarfed down an estimated one thousand nuggets. In excerpts referenced by the New York Post, Bolt called Chinese food “odd” and decided to give McDonald’s a try. And for the publicity he’s about to give McDonald’s, he deserves some sponsorship coin:
“At first I ate a box of 20 [McNuggets] for lunch, then another for dinner,” he writes. “The next day I had two boxes for breakfast, one for lunch and then another couple in the evening. I even grabbed some fries and an apple pie to go with it.”
Apparently that wasn’t enough; Bolt estimates he vacuumed down 100 nuggets every 24 hours for ten days. Also during that time, he happened to win gold medals in the 100 meter, 200 meter, and 4×100 meter relay events.
