  • Yeah, and the person he was up against swam the fastest relay split in HISTORY (until Jason)!! It's Cullen's first Olympics, he's relatively young and inexperienced compared to some of the other people there, give the guy a break! He's awesome! I'd like to see you even attempt to do half of what he's accomplished in his lifetime.

  • wow cullen jones is awesome- he's got a personality that makes you smile right along with him.

  • It's like swimming the fastest heat in lane 8. You made the FASTEST HEAT. He made the OLYMPIC FINAL RELAY TEAM. He's still one of the fastest, ever! :D Go Cullen Jones :)

  • @kookykatlyn yeaah i like him he seems cool

  • ''when you do continue to strive and don't give up [chuckle] you can sit here and get this also''

    She said it with so much confidence, pride but slight seriousness too. lol

  • nothing against cullen jones but he almost lost the race, this has nothing to do with skin color just the fact that it could have ended horribly if jason hadn't been a beast

  • At first I thought I saw a nigga swimming.

    Then hey opened his mouth and I realized he's an OREO.

  • @josdanchavez

  • @bepitan

    umm false, it has nothing to do with skin color. its called time and dedication

  • @TheFutureIsAtheist people said the same thing about tennis, then we had arthur ashe and the williams sisters. people said the same thing about golf, cue tiger woods. the similar thing about tennis, golf and swimming is that they have all been traditionally middle class sports that blacks were dissuaded to take part in.

  • There's a tendency for people who try the hardest to be better at every sport. It's not about race; sometimes children of different colors are encouraged to play different sports, and so we see an athletic disparity in some sports, but there is no reason why someone who tries the hardest and works the hardest cant be better than someone who was born with the "right" skin color.
