everyone has their damn time to shine!! each year their is a new damn winner, same goes for relay teams. usa and ja always seem to come out at front, for yrs usa won everything!
florence josephine was commented by american commentators to be the greatest in seoul 88, then in sydney 2000, marion was commented to be A CLASS ABOVE THE RES T IN THE 200M....good god !! only to be stripped of all her medals...how about all the prize money she took for chaeting?? she has or the USA govt has to pay back with interests over the years!! in 2004, jones could only watch helplessly (when she dropped her baton) the jamaican wpomen sprinting into golden glory!!!
when americans take steriods, they cover it up like for carl lewis, and marion jones..and when ben johnson of canada won gold, they whispered drug use!! NOW FOR fact, marion and gang went home after athens empty handed and she has to be in jail now for lying about her streiod use in sydney in front of a grand jury!!
Sherone ran down Marian's cheating ass and caused her to panic, and drop the baton to Williams, cheating bitch, justice was down partly for those she cheated out of medals over the years.
It's a big difference from Gaitlen who took drugs and claim he don't know how it got in his system.It's mostly mediocre ja athletics that takes drugs, which doesn't even help them. e.g dunckley tested positive at Beejing trials for drugs, this guy finished about 6th and was back up for the relays, he did it just to go to the Olympic and experience the atmosphere.While top Us athletes take drugs and win gold,set wr or fast times, make big bucks and deceive everybody, like how Marian, fooled me.
Jamaicans have tested positive yes, but they are ordinary athletics who don't win anything, unlike Marain,Gailten. Those 6 recently, where they banned?no ,they didn't take PED, OR masking agents, else iaaf would ban them,like Merrit. it's the stupid ja fed.that banned them 3 months. They admitted to taking it, it was a substance similar in composition to a banned substance, and was placed on the list to be sure. They weren't aware in was put on and took it, they declared it.
We will see. JAM vs. USA has been one of the greatest country vs country rivalries ever. I hope both teams are healthy and if they are, Jamaica will win.
We would have swept the sprints in Beijing - but for one race!
I dont care weh nobody want seh. Keron's fault. Speed means nothing in a 4x100m if u dont have a baton. If she thought she was so fast, would be better to slow down or even stop 2 take the baton and then press hard.Looks like dem overconfident, trying 2 go 4 the world record. Furthermore keron is unfair to sherone (as it looks like they decided to bust their ass on each leg) by asking her to go so fast at the end of her leg to put the baton in her hand after she buss on her own 100m.
i absolutely love watchin this race! u see aileen bailey never even stop runnin after she passed the baton to veronica.... they were definetly feeling a good vibe that day :) go JA :D :D
these girls use to attend the school that i go to.big up vere technical high school the best school in clarendon jamaica. am proud to be a part of that school.
This is the REAL olympic record if you discount those cheating, doped up East Germans from the 1980's. Get the records of those cheating Germans wiped once and for all!!!
Awesome!! This makes up for the many gold medals that were cheated us by the steroid-ridden Americans and Russians. Yam and banana do dat man-Natural thing.
Sorry - it will always be a competition between Jamaica, USA & Bahamas. It's anybody's race. Jamaicans and Bahamians have more discipline with passing the baton. Did you see the first change over? Smooth as silk. USA men need to work on that too.
Please. the majority of those runners are American-trained. I already know. The best from Pauline Davis, Juliet Cuthbert, Merlene Ottey, Michelle Freeman, and MANY others.
THATS A LIE, WHO IS COACHING USAIN, POWELL, CAM. FRAZ. ECT..... after the steroid shit that USA is pulling Jamaicans are pulling away.....YOU SHOULD MORE SAY THAT USA IA SO GOOD BECAUSE 70% OF THERE ATHLETES ARE EITHER FRROM JAMAICA OR JAMAICAN DECENT
I never mentioned ALL athletes, dude. But more world class Jamaicans and Bahamians have had influence from the U.S. And 70% of US athletes? Please! You don't even know what the hell you are talking about! Who are you referencing? And Merlene Ottey went to college in Nebraska. Do your research before you respond.
not really mate look up the current fastest jamaican sprinters they have be kicking but since they younger years where they were born and bred in jamaica take vorinica campbell for example i think she was the world junior champ at 100 and 200 when she was only trained by jamaica coaches. Asafa and Bolt are both trained by jamaican coaches in jamaica .
The brits are even in contention? Who do they have on their team? I don't know about that one. I'd say it's between the US, Jamaica, Bahamas and maybe France.
Great Britian women's 4 x 100 meters relay team comprises of: Emma Ania, Montelle Douglas, Jeanette Kwakye, and Ashlee Nelson! I can't go into detail of each one because it's time consuming; just be prepared the U.S. and Jaimacan! Now, I'm still cheering for my country: The United States to win not only the relay events, but, the majority of the track and field events.
oh please did u see the 2nd exchange sherone simpson got the baton to aleen bailey b4 marion got it to lauryn and wat messed up the americans was that marion was 2 tall and lauryn was 2 short u would have 2 put lauryn first
You know what's so ironic about this is that a few days b4 this race a commercial was being aired on US tv in which a jamaican team dropped the baton and karma hit their asses. Haha
veronica cambell runs out her lane clearly she does but about that marion jones tak n steroids comment thats bologna jus becuz she can whip ppls ass dont mean she on drugs its only been aligations neva been proven so b4 u make smart comments u need to read a lil more and latasha colander is trash so she wasnt catch n veronica cambel and they shoulda put sumbody else on the relay lauryn williams torri edwards me'lisa barber and marion jones in that order would hav destroyed the jamaicans
Jamaica had a sensational team, with two medallists (Campbell and Lawrence) and two Olympic finalists (Simpson and Bailey) and they were really a team, so I don't think the result would have been that clear-cut. Marion Jones has always been crap at relay races and the US as a whole has usually relied on stars instead of team work.
if u have sherone simpson aileen bailey and veronica campbell especially there is no way the americans would have won if they didn't drop the baton it would be a close race did u see the 2nd 3rd and anchor leg 4 jamaica no way man could the americans have won damn i mean veronica was hot! on fyre marion jones could not run faster besides she was taking drugs ya'll americans just cant stand losing and u have to do it with drugs
Oh sure they are - lemme guess, ur American right? And FYI Asafa Powell - yeah the World Record holder who broke his own record 3 times - he does NOT train in the US
JA athletes go to US for one reason and is to get an education so they have a life after their CLEAN track careers...b4 they attend these colleges in the USA they have proven that they are better than them...look at the Penn Relays over the years when these athletes are in high school
@jerham612 idk.. probably the same reason why "over the last year, six Jamaican track athletes have tested positive for banned substances." That's an exact quote. Google it!
It seems like everytime a US athlete does well, ppl are quick to say "DRUGS".. However, if it's someone from another country, nothing is said.... really??
I know the US has had it's share of tainted athletes, but let's not pretend that they are the only ones here. I mean, get real!
If u watched the race carefully u would realise that sherone simpson handed over the stick before marion got to lauryn williams, based on their relative speed they may have handed over at the same time and collander is in no way a match for VC, so lose that thought. Jamaica would have won regardless
the fate of the race was already been made since the third leg(aleen bailey) got the baton,she was ahead of the US girl,and Latasha colander would have been walked severly by Veronica(buck buck) so either way,Jamaica would and did won
yep, but jam was not disqualified because she didnt gain an advantage or hinder the runner in the adjacent lane. if she stepped on the inside line (e.g., gwen torrence 1995 200m world championship) it would be a different story. also, you might remember that veronica did the same thing in one of the earlier heats in the w200m at this same olympics and she wasnt disqualified for the same reason.
Don't watch that...watch Olympics 2008 and see what is going to happen a Jamaican will be winning we not sure which one but one will have that gold medal
The U.S. would have won if they had oassed the stick over. I believe Marion and Lauryn would have established enough of a lead for LaTasha to hold off Veronica.
The point of a relay is to finish the race with the stick in your hand and the US failed!! Even so.. it was quite clear the US did not have 41.67 in them for that race. Latasha Colander might have received the stick ahead of Veronica, but Latasha did not have a prayer of holding her off. How's that for woulda coulda??
aljahiz, don't get it twisted. Jamaica would have won even if the US team had been competent enough to hand over the baton. All four of Jamaica's runners could beat the girls on the US team--even those cheating using steroids!!!!
everyone has their damn time to shine!! each year their is a new damn winner, same goes for relay teams. usa and ja always seem to come out at front, for yrs usa won everything!
