RIO DE JANEIRO — Perhaps only Usain Bolt, the biggest star at these Olympic Games, could lead a credentialed member of the media at a news conference here to stand out of his chair, pledge his love and perform an impromptu number.
The reporter was from Norway, he said, though he didn’t give a name.
“I don’t have a question,” he said. “I just want to say I love you, man.”
Then he sang.
I hope you win
I hope it’s your day
I hope you win even though
You got hit by a Segway*
(*Bolt did indeed get hit by a guy riding a Segway, last year at the world championships in Beijing.
