Her reasons are somewhat valid but it’s called sacrifice babes….
Megan
Edwards, 22, split from the world’s fastest man after he flew her to
Jamaica to meet his family. The down-to-earth accounts worker decided
that the 4,600 miles between her and the smitten sprinter was too much
to handle, and she wouldn’t be able to handle his globe-trotting
lifestyle either.
Devastated Usain, 26, begged her to change her
mind, but Megan revealed: “In the end I had to let my head rule my
heart. It was amazing out there, but that’s where I decided it couldn’t
go on. He was talking about having to fly here and there and I was going
back to my office job. So when I got home I rang him and told him
it wasn’t going to work. I said the distance thing and not seeing him
often enough was a problem for me.”
“He was very upset and said ‘Don’t do it, what can I do?’. I told him, ‘There is nothing you can do… you are who you are’.
“I
am just a normal girl and I know people say, ‘You would have been fine
with it’, but I wouldn’t. If I was a celebrity then our relationship
probably would have lasted longer.” Junior athlete Megan caught the eye
of the 100m world record holder when she was chosen to model Jamaica’s
team kit for the Games and appeared on a catwalk with him. “We live at
opposite ends of the globe,” she told a friend. “He talked about flying
all over the place and there’s me having to go back to Dartford.
“I
really liked him, but I only have a set amount of holiday that I can
use each year and I’m not going to use it all up going to see Usain Bolt
in Jamaica. “A few things crystallized in my head while I was away and
when I got back. So after a couple of days I telephoned him to call it
off. It was very hard and I was upset too. “In the end he asked if we
could still be friends and I said, ‘Of course… you haven’t done anything
wrong to me’. I don’t think he was expecting it. “It wasn’t as though
it fizzled out. It was just at this present moment in time we are,
neither of us, in the right place. “And I told him that it wasn’t right
for us to be together right now and that it just wasn’t going to work
out between us.”
Now Megan is concentrating on her own Olympic
dream, taking inspiration from the boyfriend she had to let go. “I hope
to go to Rio in 2016 and do the 800or 1500 metres,” she said. “Perhaps
Usain will be there too…”
