Yep, and that's where I;ve been, just above Springville. Food, coffee, just tastes better up there. No Mexicans in the Appalacians.
Proud to be from a small island (< 3mil) that has produced Usain Bolt (record holder in 100m and 200m) and both current men's (Bolt) and women's (Thompson) Olympic gold in 100m and 200m. Been watching since Don Quarrie won 1976 Olympic gold in 200m and seen a LONG string of outstanding Jamaican sprinters but none to compare to Bolt.
Stay there.
Back in the late 40's, early 50's Jamaica had the three fastest 400m sprinters in the world in George Rhoden, Herb McKenley and Arthur Wint (800 also). They along with 100/200 cat Les Laing totally demolished the 4x4 world record. This is where we first saw that Jamaican sprint prowess.
Jamaican born.
Ben Johnson Olympic champ for Canada
Linford Christie Olympic champ for GB
Donovan Bailey Olympic champ for Canada
Yohan Blake World Champion
Dennis Johnson 9.3 WR holder
Ray Stewart ranked number one in the world
Asafa Powell king of the sub10.00
Lennox Miller Olympic silver/bronze
Don Quarrie Olympic gold, silver
A gang of cats like Nesta Carter, Steve Mullings, Nikel Ashmeade, Michael Frater and on and on........
Only the 300 mill plus USA can come close to comparing to that.
Bolt came up as a 400, 200m sprinter, he spent years training as a long sprinter. So his speed endurance is on a whole other level than just 100m cats, then ya add that 6-5 stride, yep...THE FREAK

Dude, grow the up, please. So tired of your childish bull , ok?
Back in the day, Jamaicans represented other countries because of scholarships, money, training facilities but now, maybe, because it's easier to make a different country's team than Jamaica's. Not just the men but the women too - powerhouses.
What are you going to do about it? The same exact thing you'd do in real life; Jack .
I think you are thinking of Trinidad there, who did rep GB back in the day. Jamaicans have always ran for Jamaica (many were schooled in the USA, but ran for Jamaica). When it comes to sprinting Jamaica has been a powerhouse for awhile now.
Ben Johnson, Linford Christie, Donovan Bailey left Jamaica at an early age.
Dude, ya worry way too much about other posters, how about sticking to the topic of the thread instead, ok ya little prick?
Dude, stick to the topic of a thread, can ya do that, nobody cares about your pesonal problems, got it ?
Talking about cultural differences - it's just what one is brought up with/used to. For instance, I grew up hearing reggae and Motown music - my kids classical music and church hymns. They have not one ounce of (dancing) rhythm - not musical as they all play instrument(s). Trying to teach the youngest how to slow dance and it's SAD - I don't think he can even hear the beat much less move to it. Dh is just like them and that's such a pity because I love dancing.
Tall and fast and black.
All 6-3 and taller all world class athletes.

That is a black thing.
We have to look at %.
I'm a white guy, who is into the history of black music/sports. I own all them old blues from the 20's, all those doo wop groups from the 50's, all that primitive jazz.
I do believe blacks do possess another level of rhythm. And we see that in their running ability, especially on a football field.
I was a sprinter, RB and a dancer, I know for a fact my rhythm had a lot to do with that.
Why have we NEVER seen an Asian American 220 pound RB with 4.4 jets? Why is that? Where are those Mexican American 6-3 4.3 WR's?
Who can name...one....great white USA female sprinter?
Avante is a racist because he says physical traits by race also imply mental traits, (in)abilities, while neuroscience shows that all human brains have enormous plasticity, trainability.
Avante is a racist because he says hispanic, mestizo, black brains are inferior by "nature", totally excluding the all-important (negative) effects of "nurture".
We are different, that's why we have..RACES...ya reckon? I see no reason to play silly ass games about it. Blacks can run faster...FACT. Asia is far better off than Mexico and South America..FACT.
If I own a computer business, I;d much rather have Asian working for me than Mexicans. I'de rather coach an all black football team than an all white one.
are you saying the blacks are too lazy to run distance?
You can't really get just how supeior blacks really are in sports unless you know what whites can do.
All Time USA White 100m

1.Charles Paddock WR 9.6/1920 Oly gold
2.Hal Davis WR 10.2/top sprinter in the world in the early 40's
3.Dave Sime WR 9.3/Oly silver (grandpa of NFLer Christian McCaffrey)
4.Bobby Morrow WR 9.3/1956 Oly gold
5.Mel Patton WR 9.3/1948 200m Oly gold
6.John Teeters his 10.00 the fastest white American
7.Frank Wykoff WR 9.4
8.Darel Newman 9.2/only white sprinter to beat Bob Hayes
Where we really see a HUGE, MASSIVE, difference in with black/white female sprinters in the USA. We never ever see a fast white female sprinter, NEVER. Why?

Size with speed the big difference.
Well, I know why asians aren't good at sprinting - legs are too short (but long trunk). I always have to buy a size larger in swimsuit than my normal size.
But yall kick ass in ping pong.
Thing is.....YES....we do have physical differences, that is a fact. The most speed friendly physique.....the Negroid....race.
Then ya add that quickness, elusiveness, agility, we see on a football field. Whites/Asian simply can't do that.
I;ve been to Hong Kong, Tokyo, at 6-2 I felt like a giant.
Anyone familiar with the site...Caste Football? There we see a bunch redneck racists wimpering around about how whites just don't get their chance anymore but if they did....hahahaha~~~~~~~~ So out of touch with reality it's comical.
