Party animal, ladies’ man and world-class sprinter Usain Bolt’s Olympic accomplishments this year may have been even more impressive than usual, considering what was going on behind his winning smile.
Bolt reportedly won his three gold medals at the Rio Games – and got more than a little friendly with some of the locals – while fighting off an infection caused by a massive, painful abscess in one of his teeth, according to the Brazilian newspaper Globo.
The nine-time gold medalist and fastest man in the world had the tooth treated while in the Olympic Village just a day before his departure, according to the report.
That means – while dealing with an issue many of us would have taken a week off from work to handle – Bolt defended his crowns in the men’s 100-meter and 200-meter sprints and 4-x-100-meter relay.
If history is any indication, Bolt likely was not alone. According to a study conducted at the 2012 Olympics in London, athletes paid more than 1,900 visits to the Olympic Village dentists. More than half had cavities, and 75 percent had gum disease.
So, if you’re sitting at your desk with a toothache today, maybe just be glad you don’t have to go run a marathon as well.

It doesn’t matter, I’m glad he got it fixed. Some men despise going to the doctor until the pain becomes unbearable. You can now show those pearly Usain
Looks like Bolt waited until bad went to worst and with the toothache he had no choice but to fix the problem right away!
Who in their right mind would finish his duties and travel back home, how much miles to fix the tooth and get relief…He did the best thing considering the pain he must of had.

Why do you all say his teeth are rotten? His teeth are not rotten they’re short and spaced which can be fixed with veneers. If he’s confident with his smile who are we to tell him to get his teeth fixed but, kissing people when he had infected abscesses is just nasty.
