Usain Bolt & Olympians craving McDonald’s so much there is now a limit on food orders

The world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, has found where he can get his Chicken McNugget fix in Rio, and apparently he is not alone. The McDonald’s in the Olympic Village in Rio de Janeiro has been selling plenty of food to its international visitors, but in order to keep customers happy, it has had to start restricting how much food customers may order.

According to a report from CBC, the McDonald’s in the Olympic village in Rio has had to limit customers to no more than 20 food items per order. I know what you are thinking. 20 is a heck of a lot of food from McDonald’s, especially for one person. I hear you, believe me. I could never order more than one extra value meal and maybe a milkshake or McFlurry. These people in Rio are ordering enough food to feed a family of seven. Just take a look at the order recently made by Australian badminton player Sawan Serasinghe after a loss. Maybe he was trying to eat to deal with the disappointment?

Wow what a week it has been in Rio! Have to say I am disappointed about the match today. We definitely had a good chance to stretch the match to three sets toward the end of the second set but couldn’t close it out. We would have loved to end our first Olympic campaign with a win against a much higher ranked pair. Although having said that, there are lots of good things to learn from the matches in the last three days playing against more experienced pairs. Can’t wait to go back home to start training and keep on improving! Just want to say thanks again to everyone back home for the on going support. Definitely motivated me to fight hard on court everyday! ❤️ Now it’s time to eat some junk food after months of eating clean! 😀

Olympians from around the country are taking advantage of the McDonald’s menu. The Chinese men’s basketball team orders a round of Big Macs for breakfast (what, no McGriddles?). Bolt, who admits to dabbling in some junk food from time to time, did get some nuggets in Rio too (although this evidence came before the start of Bolt’s competition schedule).

Because the McDonald’s has been so popular for athletes and fans, the restaurant has had to deal with growing lines going bonkers. The only thing to do was to put a limit in place for how much could be ordered, as a way to help move the lines a little more efficiently, or as efficiently as possible given the circumstances.
