The concerns at the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022 are becoming stronger. The quality of the food for quarantined athletes has come to the forefront. Hence, Russian biathlon competitor, Valeria Vasnetsova, raised concerns about the treatment she receives at the Olympics. There are concerns about food being ‘inedible’ and ‘impossible’ to eat according to the athlete and it has put the Olympics in the limelight. Thus, Usain Bolt eating chicken nuggets makes sense now.

Significantly, nutrition is an important part of an athlete’s regime. Thus, what Usain Bolt did back in 2008 shows he may be correct in that decision.

Usain Bolt ate nuggets during the 2008 Olympics

Joe Pampalino brought the story to the limelight via Twitter. He posted a story of the Russian athlete complaining about the food in Beijing while he connected that to Bolt’s routines in Beijing. Bolt ate 100 nuggets a day for over 10 days because he only trusted the nuggets given by McDonald’s. The franchise makes the best burgers consistently in healthy and clean conditions. Hence, Pampalino reported that his diet is now understandable after the troubles at the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022.

The sensational Bolt set the 100 and 200-meter world records. But, the real problem is the quality of the food being given to athletes who are under quarantine. Vasnetsova spoke about similar food being given for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that has made her angry. Hence, she spoke in disappointment about her health conditions and other problems related to the dishes being offered.

“My stomach hurts, I’m very pale and I have huge black circles around my eyes. I want all this to end. I cry every day. I’m very tired. But today I ate all the fat they serve instead of meat because I was very hungry. My bones are already sticking out,” said Vasnetsova.
