BackgammonMasters to Purchase Olympic Record Breaker Usain Bolt’s Running Shoes

    LONDON, August 21 /EMWNews/ -- BackgammonMasters, a popular online

backgammon, poker and blackjack gaming provider, has announced that it

wishes to purchase the gold running shoes of Jamaican Olympic record

breaker Usain Bolt. Once the shoes have been acquired they plan to auction

them off to the highest bidder, with all proceeds going to charity.

BackgammonMasters congratulates Bolt on setting two new word records for

the men's 100 meter and 200 meter races at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic

Games.



    Bolt, nicknamed "Lightning Bolt" for his quick speed, is the first

person ever to break two world records during the same Olympic event. He

won the men's 100 meter in 9.69 seconds and the 200 meter in 19.30 seconds

earning him two wins and two new world records. He's also the first man to

win the 100 and 200 meter events during the Olympics since Carl Lewis did

the same back in 1984. BackgammonMasters has taken great interest in

purchasing his revered gold shoes in hopes of adding them to their

travelling gallery collection of sports memorabilia.



    This year's Olympic Games have included some spectacular events in

which the nations from around the globe compete for prestige and world

recognition. Currently China, where the games are taking place, is ranked

number one with 45 gold medals, followed closely by the United States,

Great Britain and Russia. The Olympic Games will conclude on August 24,

2008.
