Caribbean Thread
Well as the name suggests it'll be about the Caribbean. Mostly about Jamaica though since we usually have the most success. Some surprises in our T&F Trials with the women's 100m Champ from last year's Worlds finishing 4th. Also, in the men's the winner jogged to 9.85, Usain Bolt, and Asafa Powell jogged to 9.97.

Interestingly (or perhaps not, but meh) from 88-96 the first man over the line in the men's 100m at each games was a Jamaican-born athlete representing another country.

George Bovell III to medal at some point. No clue what events he's swimming this year.
Marc Burns and Darrel Brown also threats.

'tis a point (last ones who were anywhere close to such times were) - at the same time Julien Dunkley, a 32-year-old rather unknown sprinter, has just been caught by drugs tests for a steroid. This at least hints that the doping programme in Jamaica works.

In other news, disagreement between Powell's coach who coaches 10 other athletes out of the 52 there and the athletics body. More to come. |
