Jamaica will recive 1 Gold medal and 2 silver medals as Keron Stewart recovered well from a slow start to fight her way to the line tieing with Sherone Simpson to the line. Congratulations to team Jamaica who’s medal haul stands at four so far in the beijing games after Usain Bolt’s sensational run in the 100m finals for men.
Trus me it was pandemonium in every jamaican house over here in South Africa! I was shouting 1 2 3, 123, and now for it to be 122 even better! Mi glad fi Shelley Ann, even tho it was clear that that American shifted in the blocks which I think threw off Kerron the favourite. So now the girl who we barely wanted in it, has taken top prize, and our darlings have also been rewarded for hard work. mi a dying to see hte flag dem a go up. USA inna u face.
Once again our Jamaican women are showing the men how it’s done! U see why mi haffi luv dem so!
She’s adorable, like a kid in a candy store! Its sooo exciting to know that we winning, I just waan mek sure that we keep the momentum going and go for the gold!
I am proud of all Jamaican athlete. America is crumpling because they cant take the drugs.
Kerron Steward could never win Shelly ann run the race of her life. The false start the American athlete did was not really noticable by the other athletes they all jump out the block and run. Shelly ann Fraser is amazing. i love her, especially listening to her mother interview let me love her more.
WAS AT WORK FOR THIS AND NO-ONE IN THE BETTING SHOP COULD HEAR THEIR HORSE/DOG RUNNING
