And for the game, Jackie Young poured in 24 points and 8 assists, leading the Las Vegas Aces to a commanding 106\u201380 win over the Dallas Wings. Even the bench strength was key: Jewell Loyd logged 20 points in her first off\u2011the\u2011bench appearance, while Kierstan\u202fBell added a career-high 19. But surprisingly, there was something for the track and field fans as well \u2013 Usain Bolt in the audience, and Thulin revealed how Bolt refused his challenge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">The crowd in the College Park Center roared when they found the 8-time Olympic gold medalist sitting in the crowd among them. WNBA posted a reel in collaboration with the official Instagram handle of the Jamaican and captioned, \u201c\ud83d\udea8@usainbolt pulled up to the W \ud83d\udea8The eight-time Olympic gold medalist is in the building at College Park Center for Aces vs Wings. LVA vs DAL | League Pass.\u201d But what had the fans laughing was the commentary at the time when Bolt came on screen. Ron Thulin had a confession.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin\">The sports commentator said, \u201cHow about that? Usain Bolt, I challenged him to go one lap here from end line to end line. He said no.\u201d The man with the mic, especially known as the main play-by-play announcer for the Dallas Wings in the WNBA, wanted to challenge the sprinting legend who is known for leaving his opponents in the dust. Well, that was surely a joke, but end line to end line race between Bolt and Thulin here at the court in College Park Center would have been a sight.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"jsx-d1473eb6c1a219b5 instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DMoEzb5R59J\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<p>View this post on Instagram\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sports commentator, Ron Thulin, and former basketball star Fran Harris took the mic in the Dallas Wings vs.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":98214,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[1444,3955,64251,64248,13825,64250,64249,2968,1618,62,64252,67,132,68,232,1615],"class_list":{"0":"post-98213","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-1444","9":"tag-athletics","10":"tag-bauhaus-galan","11":"tag-bbeng","12":"tag-diamond","13":"tag-friidrett","14":"tag-friidrott","15":"tag-league","16":"tag-quer","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-stockholm","19":"tag-united-states","20":"tag-unitedstates","21":"tag-us","22":"tag-wnba","23":"tag-x0x"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114928425710529316","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98213\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98214"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
