Every Jamaican knows that Asafa was the first one to stay home and make it. That is why he is so loved.
Afasa is the definition of humble. Hence the respect to him and from him.

Typo*** Asafa
You've just schooled me Asafa. I didn't realize you're the first to stay home & gleamed success, taking advantage of the
our training facilities and coaches...Helping to shape and lift out thing to be acknowledged
on a world stage.

Loving these interviews
Asafa and Justin interviews are awesome "two of the greatest". I really pray on it that they both coach the youth "humble, kind mature Men.
Justin was caught using PEDs 3 times lol. Keep him well away from the youth
@@ben1ben2ben1 Where you hear that from?
Best technique at 100m. So consistent. Just the injuries 😳😳😳
Love this podcast bro!! 🔥🔥
Great content and great question!
To think that Asafa would still smoke the current folks on the track
bro asafa doesn't even know how big that interview is for the future of Jamaican track and field, just a reminder to stay in the sun bake in the sun because you are children's of the sun. sun is y'all power accept it believe and stay home grown home trained. humble and share the pie. money nuff in the world and people will pay for entertainment. you don't always have to win big, but you can earn big. Remember kids the biggest brand in the world is JAMAICA. slap that on anything in the world it sells like hot bread.
Some truth.
Jamaica isn't the biggest brand lol. Maybe get out of the sun for some time.
Beautiful.. typical Jamaican..fun n laid back n excellent or great at the same time.. One love..
I remember reading the news paper in 2006 and being in awe of that record.
Asafa yuh sexy, humble, kind and did yourself and us proud. Much luv🙏🏾💪🏾❤️
We love you Asafa ❤❤🇯🇲🇯🇲
This man’s starts were amazing. Great technique.
Please remember &Put Some respect to VCB because she was the first female Sprinter who Won the Olympics Gold medal in 2004 the women 200meter in Greece Athens 🇬🇷..
Please come to the front of the class , because you are not listening. The conversation is about the first athlete who chose to stayed back in Jamaica and train. It was not about who won medals first.
@@MaiFleur-oo4esHe's in the back of the class a chat.
@@MaiFleur-oo4esI have to just shake my head sometimes when I read some comments and wonder if it was the same thing they watched as I did....smh.
They don't listen at all.....
@@shevyweston5088 It's sad.
Not local based tho is what they're saying....she went to Barton County then Arkansas
Usain definitely gets the headlines, but Asafa was the man!!! Best in the world!!! I do believe Usain is the better all time sprinter, but Asafa didn’t get his just due during his prime. May simply be because of the coverage and also the personality of Usain. Asafa just ran. World record holder for years!!!
Usain is outgoing and also has a great personality. He had his trademark pose and was very likeable and talented. Safa is likeable and was shy. Gatlin said that they were competing for years and never heard Asafa talk. So I get why Safa wouldn't get as much publicity. The Asafa of today is so much more outspoken that the one who came one the athletic scene over a decade ago.
let's give Usain Bolt his flowers. Asafa did his things but Usain Bolt took Jamaica to the next level. Everybody started to fear Jamaica because of Usain Bolt. He was cool, strong, fan friendly and unbeatable. Plus he made Jamaican win different races, 100m, 200m. 400m. etc.. Asafa was good but prime for prime Usain Bolt was the man hands down.
Well said!!
@@jackroro7381 Well said sir! You hit the nail on the head! Usain Superman Bolt! F🔥🔥🔥 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Both are legends
Happy Saturday to every one ❤
@readysetgo ask Asafa about the 2003 with jon Drummond that got him Dq in the final of the 100m in paris..i think that incindent affected him mentally.
You are forgetting Raymond stewart and Veronica ..however Asafa is the man
I believe what he’s saying is that he’s the first or one of the first local based world beater
They are starting about Asafa Powell being the pioneer of staying in Jamaica after high school to receive professional training without going through the NCCA system.
Raymond went to TCU
Veronica went to Barton County then Arkansas
You totally not understanding what they are talking about.
A true humble African jømïécīan

BIG BOSS ASADA 9OWELL THE ORIGINAL TREND SETTING
Mr Powell, we luv u❤, u made island people proud u a legend. Big up
First search the video called: When You ACCIDENTALLY Break A World Record at 4:06 for the split times from the UA-camr called Total Running Productions: Well if you look at the split times within the video and you then find the difference between each split for every 10m from in between the 20m and the 30m mark all the way to in between the 90m and 100m mark: Bolt's split differences within his 100m world record: 0.90, 0.86, 0.83, 0.82, 0.81, 0.82, 0.83, 8.83 so you see with this, bolt's top speed has barely decreased from in between his peak speed between the 60m and 70m mark all the way to in between the 90m and the 100m mark only by 2 hundreths of a second. Whearas Powell's split differences were: 0.91, 0.86, 0.84, 0.83, 0.83, 0.83, 0.86, 0.90. So you see with Powell how consistent his top speed was in between the 40 and the 50m mark all the way to the 70m and the 80m mark but then after that he slowed down in between the 80m and the 90m mark and then in between the 90m and the 100m mark he slowed down massively, so even if he just managed to maintain that 0.86s split difference from the 80m and the 90m mark of where he just slowed down slightly into the slowest split in between the 90m and the 100m mark instead he would of got a minimum overall 100m time of at least 9.70 seconds: 9.74 - 0.90 + 0.86 = 9.70s. And the fastest time he could of possibly have got if he had maintained that 0.83s split difference instead into the last two splits in between the 80m and the 90m mark and also the 90m and the 100m mark would've been about 9.64 seconds: 9.74 - 0.90 - 0.86 + 0.83 + 0.83 = 9.64s. So overall if Powell didn't slow down massively on what he had ran, his time would've been roughly in between 9.64 seconds to 9.70 seconds. And BTW I'm not saying that powell is faster than Bolt because even if Powell managed to maintain onto his fastest consistent top speed of the 0.83s splits at the end, he still wouldn't of broken Bolt's record anyway and also I'm not saying that this is an entirely accurate fact aswell, as it is just an estimation. So just let it be that Bolt is just the fastest man in the world at the moment and in history. But Asafa Powell is still the 4th fastest man of all time so he’s obviously still a great athlete too.
VCB is the first Jamaican women's 100meter champions in the world championship in 2007.this revision of history didn't start 2008 Mr Powell
I think he meant that 2008 was the year so many athletes who trained in Jamaica had medaled. I don’t think he is trying to discredit her, he is saying that changed the game
winning a race is different from dominating the entire event for both events, sweeping the medals and literally keeping all other nations off the podium. That's when our reign began. We've always won races here and there but nothing beats doing it at the Olympics and that started 2008. So don't be nitpicky. Just take the interview for what it is.
VCB went to college and trained in Kansas. 2008 was when the athletes who were trained on Jamaican soil began to flourish.
I think he was saying that's when Jamaica started to dominate sprinting
Where did VCB go to college. It was NOT on the island if I can recall.
Let's go
you all made us very hapi at home and abroad:)
however..
veronica-campbell-brown was “shining” before, 2008, from Sydney 2,000 (with merlene) then Athens 2004 with so many firsts for ja) and even before (as world junior, world youth) but for whatever reason(s) “some” jcans seem reluctant to give her the full credit she deserves for all those early years of works. Building blocks.
safa was shining every time he broke the world record (before 2008) and usain was shining as world junior and world youth with much potential. The “revival” after don quarrie, merlene ottey had already been reignited..leading up to the 2008 olympics.
He is speaking about Asafa training in Ja and doing well on the wotld stages.
They are not overlooking other athletes but focusing on Asafa's journey and the impacted it created for Jamaicans opting to stay in Jamaica and train.
@@Robinson9608 huge raspect always for safa (& coach francis)the first being able to stay home in ja was great:) (there are a lot of jcans abroad who wish they could..work from home🫢.) Your comment well noted Robinson9608 give thanks. Please note i was referring to asafa’s reasoning regarding “beginning to shine in 2008” i personally believe “the shining” started before then with vcb’s impressive performances at 2004 olympics, usain’s junior and youth accomplishments plus asafa’s world records. i also noted a lot of deserving athletes names were mentioned but not vcb’s so i mentioned her..may her huge contributions to ja “never be forgotten.” This was not a jab or missed point of discussion. Peace ✌️
He is mainly referring to the men. Merlene Ottey represented for Jamaica. But so many more the me. Migrated. Donavan Bailey being chief among them. He was one of the first top male runners to not leave and run for another country. I do t think he would disrespect the women at all.
@@ShaiSew82 cool runnings 🙂
If there is one thing that Noah Lies😅 should learn from the Great Asafa & the Great Usain #Humility.
##Team 🇯🇲 foever. ##Team 🇰🇪 for life
Respectfully, I’d say Brigitte Foster-Hylton was the first
Wallace state JUCO then Southwest Texas State
Stephen Francis trained her...She was the 1st star from MVP
@liltommy0001 yes but they're talking about athletes who stayed home and won...not went off to college or to the states
I'm the first to like and comment
I'm the first to reply to your like and comment and I liked it!
@@bryantgouveia yea.... These guys deserve all the support 🙏
The lieesss 😂...Literally no one mistook Usain for Powell at that time. Anything to try to upstage Bolt. Powell will never be the GOAT. Bolt is undisputedly the GOAT. How Powell lied through his teeth earlier and managed to keep a straight face is beyond me.
Shut up
😂 You are right I've witnessed beggers calling him Bolt at stadium east.
@@ammo444 🤣🤣🤣...really?!? Wow
@@AmandaQuest-fr9eu and he wasn't very humble abt it.
He said this was 2004, not 2008 or later
Justin is a culture vulture.Jamaica is the Mega for track and field..so he know how to get views.😂
@@michaelmorgan2498 this must be your first time watching his podcast. He talks about and shows respect to our athletes all the time. Considering that Kingston is ranked as one of these places where most of his views come from, it makes sense. You clearly don’t know what a culture vulture is
someone needs to sit you down and explain culture vulture
Assuming Hole = A$$h@le 😂
Always a hating troll .How is he a culture vulture.
He doesn't need Powell to get views 😂
