Usain Bolt!!!,奥运百米冠军博尔特向四川灾区捐款

Triple Olympic sprint gold medalist Jamaican Usain Bolt on Saturday made a personal donation of 50,000 U.S. dollars to children in the earthquake-stricken Sichuan Province, and wished people there to "get through from the tragedy" and move forward with the inspiration of the Olympic Games. "We came here, tried to perform well," said the Jamaican, who claimed the gold medals in men's 100m and 200m sprint as well as the 4x100m relay at the Beijing Olympic Games. "I hope people enjoy the games, forget the past and move on." "You have to move forward after the disaster. And also, the Olympics ask people to move forward," he added. An 8.0-magnitude tremor hit the southwestern Chinese province and its neighboring regions on May 12, killing nearly 70,000 people and leaving some 18,000 others missing. At least 10 million people lost their homes to the disaster. Bolt said that he had seen reports of the earthquake on TV for along time. "It makes me feel sorry for the victims, so I ask my management team to do something," said Bolt in an exclusive interview with Xinhua, after delivering the cheque to Liu Xuanguo, secretary-general of the Red Cross Foundation of China. Two children from Sichuan, confined to wheelchairs due to quake-inflicted injuries, presented their paintings to Bolt as gifts. "They are kids. They deserve a better future," Bolt said, crouching between the wheelchairs. "I hope they can still enjoy themselves, because they are still kids. And, it's great for kids to live in joys. I just want to help them." "I'm looking forward (to) more people coming out and helping them." Bolt said. Weeks before the opening of the Beijing Games, Bolt had trained in Tianjin, a north China port city some 120 km from Beijing. He was given a painting there, which depicted Chinese soldiers rescuing kids from under the rubble. "I still keep the painting, and will definitely bring it home," Bolt told Xinhua. "I really appreciate it." Talking about the Olympic Games, Bolt said that he was welcome in China, and was moved by the Chinese people. He said he was movedto tears on the night of winning the 200m race, when more than 90,000 spectators in the National Stadium, or the Bird's Nest, sang "happy birthday" for him. The Jamaican sprinter just turned 22 two days ago. This donation ceremony was organized by the International Sports Press Association (AIPS). AIPS President Gianni Merlo presented in the ceremony.

带走三块奥运金牌的博尔特把自己的爱心留在了中国。２３日，这位创造了三项世界纪录的短跑明星向四川大地震中的受灾儿童捐献了５００００美元。 "我在电视上看到四川地震的画面，那让我觉得非常难过。我很想为四川的孩子们做一些事情，虽然我的力量有限，但是做些事情才会让我安心。"博尔特对新华网记者说。 博尔特两天前刚刚过完自己２２岁生日，他就像个大孩子一样边回答记者的问题边对着摄像机的镜头摆着各种各样的姿势。 博尔特说："我为这些孩子们感到难过。我这样做是希望表达我的一点心意，让这些遭遇不幸的孩子能够有更好的未来。他们还是孩子，他们应该生活在欢乐中，我希望可以帮助到他­们。同时，我也希望更多的人可以站出来，帮助他们。" 在捐赠仪式上，中国红十字基金会副秘书长刘选国接受了博尔特的捐赠。两位来自四川受灾地区的初中生向博尔特赠送了自己的画作。

Actually, it is, Usain isn't making that much money out of his running. Of course way more than an average person, but you cant compare his money with a football player for example..
