- The fastest woman alive is still the back-to-back Olympic sprint double champion Elaine Thompson Herah. Or are we forgetting that 10.54 exists?
- This hasnt been Jamaica's Olympic for the sprints. But this has been Jamaica's Olympics in the field. Not just a sprint factory.
- WANYE PINNOCK HAS BEATEN MILITADIS TENTOGLOU. I REPEAT WANYE PINNOCK HAS BEATEN MILITADIS TENTOGLOU. Wins Long Jump meet in Zurich with a best jump of 8.18m.
- Ryan Crouser is an Olympic champion as an athlete and a coach Levels
- Great news ahead of tomorrow's men's 110m hurdles semi finals. Reigning Hansle Parchement will receive the order of distinction
- A massive breaking news story from my colleague Robert Bailey: Costa Rica played with COVID-positive players in their World Cup qualifier against Jamaica. jamaica-gleaner.com/article/sports…
- Not going to argue with people who only watch track and field once a year. It is an exercise in futility
- Jamaica's reign is over. But the title remains in the Caribbean!!! St Lucia's first ever Olympic medal is GOLD!!!!!!
- I know everyone back home has been on MVP watch (Shericka and Kishane specifically). What I can tell you...they are in Paris, in the village. Their training base seems to be the best kept secret in Paris.
- Ackera Nugent was in tears in the mix zone. But she has nothing to be ashamed of. First championship final in her debut. Only the begining
- People saying that this is Jamaica's worst Olympics ever. We got no medals in 1956 and 1964. So factually, not true
- Kishane basically ran Noah Lyles personal best. Well well well.
- Been holding it in until it was official. Proud to announce I will be covering my first Olympics Games! I'm back on the grind for this cycle bringing you all the news and features for all four sports for Jamaica. The fun starts next week. Hope you wil enjoy the ride with me.
