Why the Jamaicans are running away with sprint golds in Beijing - Sports Illustrated
An insightful piece from SI
1. Tradition: Think Notre Dame football. UCLA basketball. The
Yankees. Before the torch was lit in Beijing, Jamaica had won 41 medals
in Olympic track and field, dating back to the first two: Gold and
silver by Arthur Wint and Herb McKenley in 1948. Names like Donald Quarrie and Merlene OtteySports Illustrated visited the island in late spring for a feature story on Asafa Powell and Usain Bolt,
dozens of small children showed up for a Saturday morning youth track
practice. That was impressive. That they were all wearing spikes was
stunning.

When I saw Usain winning that 100m, my heart was full of so much
happiness and I was yelling and screaming my head off - as were all my
neighbours in our complex.
Finally a true Jamaican countryman won the 100m gold and we
got the credit we deserved! I say this, as Donovan Bailey was also
Jamaican but he upped and went to go run for Canada and gave them the
gold.
I am so proud and happy for Usain. He earned it and ran a
superb race - even though he jogged the end of it! Kingston right now
is a good place to be.People are wearing the Jamaican colours on their clothing.
It’s just awesome to see. People are just happy and smiling and when
you go into any local bar, coffeeshop - just anywhere - all everyone is
talking about is Usain and how fast he was.Jamaicans are bonding and are just happy right now - there are no worries about crime for a change and that’s a good thing.
Jamaica sweeps the sprints!!!
NBCOlympics.com - World’s fastest woman crowned (SPOILER)
BEIJING - When it comes to these Olympic sprints, the Jamaicans jam.
In a sweep that will trigger yet another celebration back on the Caribbean island, Shelly-Ann Fraser won the gold and Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart finished in a dead heat for the silver in the women’s 100-meter dash Sunday.Counting Usain Bolt’s world-record win the night before, that makes it two golds and two silvers for a country that had never won gold in an Olympic 100 meters before this year.
Yeah, mon.
!!!!!!!!!!NINEPOINTSIXNINE!!!!!!!!!
I am beside myself in joy, pride, jubilation. Along with over 2.7 million plus Jamaicans around the world as we celebrate 9.69. It is truly amazing, beyond belief to see his performance.
Usain celebrates his spectacular win!
For such a time as this, his performance just maybe the elixir we need to get our crime rate down some. I don’t know maybe I’m too sentimental
But it is truly amazing, I am really inspired.
BIG UP USAIN, we likkle but we TALAWAH!!!!!
