JAMAICA IN BERLIN - GOLD RUSH
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009Jamaica wins gold again
Jamaica’s men’s 4×100 m relay team has won gold in the relays at the World Championships in Berlin, Germany. Trinidad and Tobago was second to win the silver while Great Britian was third.
The Jamaican team of Steve Mullings, Michael Frater, Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell ran a good race with quite smooth baton changes and won the race in 37.31 seconds.
This is Jamaica’s second medal in the 100m relays after the women’s team took the gold in the same event earlier yesterday.
Today Jamaica will contest its last race for a medal at the championships in the women’s 4×400m relay. The team of Kaliese Spencer, Sheerefa Lloyd, Rosemarie Whyte and Novlene Williams-Mills came second in their heat to advance to the finals. Jamaica ran the second fastest qualification time of 3:24.72.
JAMAICA - MINING GOLD IN BERLIN
Saturday, August 22nd, 2009Bolt breaks his own world record … twice
On Thursday, the Jamaican sprinting great captured the 200-meter gold medal in a blistering 19.19 seconds at the world championships in Berlin. His time was 0.11 seconds below the mark he set last year at the Beijing Olympics.
“I am on my way to being a legend,” said Bolt, who gritted his teeth and pointed to the clock as soon as his 200 time flashed.
No one among the near capacity crowd at the 70,000-seat Olympic Stadium in Berlin disagreed.
“If Queen Elizabeth knighthooded me and I would get the title Sir Usain Bolt, that would be very nice,” Bolt said.
In Sunday’s 100-meter race, Bolt won a huge matchup against Tyson Gay in 9.58 seconds — blowing away his own world record by a massive .11 seconds and making Gay seem like a laggard despite setting a U.S. record of 9.71 seconds.
