Nesta Carter speaks his mind!

Overshadowed by some of his more celebrated countrymen, Nesta Carter, Jamaica’s sometimes forgotten man of sprinting, is not bothered by the little attention he receives, focusing instead on his ambitions to become the best…”I do understand what running 9.78 means, but here in Jamaica, two of those persons in front of me in terms of fastest times are from my own country and as a result I don’t really get the recognition that I should get being the fourth-fastest man in the world,” Carter told The Gleaner during a recent interview.”I am overshadowed, but I just have to continue to do my best, put in the work and try and do better, move up to number one; you have to just take it a step at a time,” he added.  Read more>>

Yohan, Asafa SHOWDOWN!!!!

Double world record holder Usain Bolt has been confirmed to contest the 100-metre sprint at next month’s JN Jamaica Invitational Meet at the National Stadium, but it is the clash between 100-metre world champion Yohan Blake and former 100-metre record holder Asafa Powell in the 200 metres that will take the spotlight.

Usain Bolt heads list of top 10 athletes to watch at London Olympics

Surprise, surprise. Any talk of the Olympics has to start with the  flashy Jamaican sprinter. His performance in Beijing four years ago was magical — gold medals and world records in the 100 metres, 200 metres and sprint relay.  Sure, Bolt hasn’t been as supernatural for the past couple of years, but expect  him to peak just in time for the big show in London. There’s no reason he can’t  win another three golds, though world records may be too much to ask. His  toughest competition in the 100 and 200 is likely to come from countryman Yohan  Blake.  Other athletes to watch include Michael Phelps and Oscar Pistorius. Read more>>

Could Jamaica be in for a rude awakening at London 2012?

So the World Indoor Championships 2012 in Istanbul came and went!

Team Jamaica returned home, after a number of events, with all of two medals – VCB’s gold and Nesta Carter’s silver medal in the 60m events for women and men respectively.

The United States walked away of 18 medals.

As much as we are appreciative of Nesta’s hard work, and the hard work of his teammates who ran in the heats, we cannot help but wonder if Asafa would have been able to take home the gold for Jamaica. He is, after all, one of the best starters in the game; an important part of a race as fast as a 60m sprint.

London 2012 is only a few months away, and apparently, Jamaica will be in for a rude awakening. Justin Gatlin is now declaring that he is the only one on the U.S. team with the stride pattern to match Bolt .

If we do not get our priorities in order and make calculated, strategic decisions about how we compete in this high stakes competition, we might not get the 50th birthday presents we have been speaking about for the last four years.

If we are to equalize or surpass our 11 medals in Beijing in 2008, we cannot go into the competition expecting it to be business as usual.

World Indoor Championship 2012 Medal Table

Rank Nation Gold Silver Bronze Total
1  United States 10 3 5 18
2  Great Britain 2 3 4 9
3  Ethiopia 2 1 2 5
4  Kenya 2 1 1 4
5  Russia 1 3 5 9
6  Ukraine 1 2 0 3
7  France 1 1 1 3
8  Australia 1 1 0 2
 Morocco 1 1 0 2
 Jamaica 1 1 0 2
