Conclusion

How can the world not respect, the little island track and field program? Amazing sprinters!
What about Lennox Miller, silver and bronze 100m at the olympics.
Little island track and field 🤣 get outta here with your fakeness, you sound like a jealous hater tryin hide behind sarcastic insincere compliments. 😂
Beautiful story Sir!!!
JAMAICA LAND WE ❤!!!!
Very informative and well presented I thought I new it all you said a lot continue the work
Much appreciated
Very good presentation.
Many many thanks
Can't and can never be a good presentation when you forgot all about Melanie Walker
@@blaskaalanzo1673 there are quite a few Olympic medalists that are not included. I am thinking maybe to make a chronological Olympic game medalists video. Melanie did Jamaica proud indeed - an amazing athlete and I apologise for leaving her out. As mentioned - a massive oversight!
Coming first and second is nothing new sir McKinley and Wint set that trend and my god they have not dropped that baton it only have made our ladies jealous and dam the battle is on 2024 here we come
Jamaicans unknowingly have been building their legs muscles for years running up and down our many hilly trains helping their family on the farms walking miles in some cases to and from school. eating our abundance of fresh fruit unique vegetables choices unfertilized foods stuff.
Jamaica all the way.
Damn it's like they've been dominating since huh for like four decades
400 hurdles sensation Clayton
What about jamaican olympics champions, Hansle Parchment, Omar Mcleod and Melaine walker?🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🥇🥇🥇
Hi Sophie - Thanks for the feedback - there are quite a few Olympic medalists that are not included. I am thinking maybe to make a chronological Olympic game medalists video, detailing our Jamaican winners in each games. This was originally meant to highlight the very best of our athletes in the Olympics, and the legacy they have given us! One love.
@@CharleyFinch Highlight ALL of them. We cannot forget those who paved the way for TODAY'S greatness.
What about Lennox Miller whom won silver at the 1968 Olympic and bronze 1972 Olympics by Mark Jones author of the book Great Jamaican Athletes
Thanks how so much
If people can remember when mr Bolt retied some people were ponicin and I useto say we never useto dominate we were competitive so is no need to ponic I useto said that America dominate because of there size and millions of people and resources and I remember I say in some comment our athletes always well peapere and one of these days we are going to get a good start and dominate because the athletes feed of each other
How could you do a presentation like this and never mention a word about Melanie Walker I need all the people in the comments section tell me if Melanie Walker didn't did well for us and why didn't her name mention
Herb n em set the foundation
Also credit to people of Jamaican descent running for other countries:
Sanya Richards-Ross
Gabby Thomas
Linford Christie
Donovan Bailey
Torrie Lewis
Dina Asher-Smith
Daryll Neita
Indeed - check my latest video where some of the above and others with Jamaican roots are spotlighted. Jamaican Roots: Sporting Edition.
This is a very big shame how can you all forgot Melanie Walker ?
Indeed - Melanie Walker won gold in the women's 400 meters hurdles, setting an Olympic record at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. A massive oversight.
This is a fairly good presentation, a few inaccurate data and some omissions exist however.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is a FIVE times 100m world champion, not 4.
The video should have also mentioned the following Athletes who have won either world championships or Olympic medals:
Hansle Parchment:
Olympic Gold and Bronze in the 110m hurdles and Two world championships Silver medals.
Omar McLeod:
Olympic Gold in the 110m hurdles 2016,
World championships Gold in 2017 and world Indoors Championships 60m hurdles Gold medalist.
Melaine Walker:
Olympic Gold in the 400m hurdles and Gold and Silver in the world championships with multiple medals at the World Youth and Junior Levels.
Shericka Williams:
Olympic and World championships Silver medals in the 400m.
James Beckford:
Olympic Silver and three world championships Silver medals in the long jump.
Trecastle Kaye Smith:
World championships Gold, 2 times Commonwealth Gold medalist and 2 times Olympic finalist.
Shanieka Ricketts:
Two world championships Silver, Commonwealth Games Gold and Silver medalist in the Triple Jump
Kerron Stewart:
2 Olympic Silver and 1 Bronze plus world championships Silver in 100m 200m
The list goes on and on. Jamaica's legacy in Athletics is truly unbelievable!!!
Thank you for the feedback - It was originally meant to be a short 8 min video and the more I researched the longer it got! You are right of course - there are several talented Jamaican athletes that were not mentioned. Maybe at some point I will redo the entire video - chronologically, by Olympic Games medalists. And deep apologies to Shelly Ann - for not getting her medal count correct - she rocks!
👍👍
Cuthbert was born in ST THOMAS u mr announcer!!!!!!!!
What a sad ending for this year 2024 Olympics it never good out come . 2028 different vibes Trust me
Merlene is still the Queen.
