bottle thrown at bolt, Man Who Threw Bottle Before Bolt’s Record-Breaking Run Allegedly Gets Olympic-Sized Beatdown From JudokaThe man who hurled a Heineken bottle at Usain Bolt just before the 100m men's final yesterday earned a beating from an Olympic judoka, according to the always-reliable Daily Mail.Dutch judo bronze medalist Edith Bosch tweeted she had "beaten" a "drunken guest" who threw a bottle on the track. Meanwhile, Canadian national Olympics broadcaster CTV has taken the lead in their forensic analysis of the video, highlighting the man taunting Bolt and then, apparently, hurling the bottle:A man has been arrested for throwing a plastic bottle at Usain Bolt and the seven other competitors just before the start of the 100 metres final at the Olympics London this morning.
A police spokesman said a man had been heard shouting abuse and was then seen throwing a bottle, which landed behind the sprinters just after the starter told the runners to "set".
The spectator, arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance, was removed from the stadium and taken to a police station in east London.
The spokesman said no one was injured during the incident, which did not disrupt the race - the highlight of the athletics program at the Games - won by Jamaican Usain Bolt.
Edith Bosch, a bronze medal winner in judo at the Games, told Dutch TV she was standing behind the man when he shouted insults at Bolt before hurling the bottle towards him.
The Dutch athlete said she had slapped him around the head before he was taken away by police.
Bolt, who retained his sprint title in an Olympic record time of 9.63 seconds, said he was unaware of the incident.
"I just heard about it, I didn't actually see it," he told a news conference, laughing.
