Olympics Fewer

Wow, wow and wow......what else can I say. This weekend was one of the best in
Jamaica's history. Usain Bolt ran the race of his life and made his country proud and he did it in fine style by breaking his World Record and Olympics Record....how cool is that. By doing so he became the first Jamaican 100m sprinter to win Gold and he will be looking to become the first man since 1984 to win the Olympic sprint double.

Shelly-Ann Fraser, Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart again made history with a rare sweep to become first athletes to win gold-silver-silver of the 100m. wow, wow, and wow again.

We had this in us all along and now we have shown the world what we are made of. Something that started decades ago by Donald Quarrie, Herb Mckinley, Merlene Ottey, Juliet Cuthbert, and many more. In an event (100m) that was dominated by the Americans where we were force to settle for second best, we are now proving that we own it and will for a long time to come. The Americans are protesting that Tori Edwards false started, but the truth of the matters is that they are ashame. We put them to shame in the 4x100m relay in Athens in 2004 and we did it again in style and made history.

Ever since that anti-doping clamp down on the athletes America is losing dominance in the sprint event....I don't know if ya'll notice but I did. Remember when we just couldn't get gold and we had to sit the pain of hearing the American National Anthem over and over again, that was.....I won't even say the word, but you get the picture. Now since all this drugs testing a whole lot of athletes who were winners are now been seen as losers. And Americans sprinters top the list, now that they can't dope up they are losing to who.....the country who had to settle for second best. So you see it's not that we couldn't do it, it's just that the winners had an extra boost. Maybe if they were testing back then as much they are doing now.....maybe we would have seen a gold-silver-bronze from Merlene Ottey, Juliet Cuthbert and Grace Jackson.

I am disappointed in Asafa Powell, who wouldn't be. Physically he is ready, but mentally his is not. What else is there to say he said so himself after the race. But despite it all he is Jamaican and I am proud of him. He helped put us back on the map although we would love to see a gold medal from him, at the end of the day he is Jamaican.

It's times like these that make me proud to be a Jamaican. I am always a proud Jamaican, don't get me wrong. But it's performances like these show the world that we are more than crime and violence. Jamaica is blessed land and if we will all wise up and see that we will be a better Nation. Our athletes have made us proud and gave us something to brag about and we will be bragging for a long time. Jamaica Land We Love!!!
