Yes, u r so unique. You know that Usain ing Bolt is fast as .
Would you let him your wife? That's what sells print u dumb .
Well actually ya little , I start in the late 40's with Jamaican 400m greats.
George Rhoden (Morgan State)
Arthur Wint...also ran the 800m
Herb McKenley...also ran the 100/200 (Illinois)**********
They along with sprinter Les Laing (Fresno St) broke the WR at the 1952 Olympics in the 4x4 relay.
Then in the late 50's/early 60's, here came Dennis Johnson (SJS) he'd tie the 9.3WR numerous times.
The 60's in Jamaica sprinting we saw Lennox Miller (who anchored that USC WR 4x1 with O.J.Simpson) win the silver at the 68 Oly 100m and the bronze in 72.
In 1976 Don Quarrie (USC)took second in the Olympic 100m and won the gold in the 200m.
Then there was Ray Stewart in the 80's, he was the first Jamaican to run a sub10,.00 and he'd also be ranked number one in the world.
Then we had the king of the sub10.00 Asafa Powell.
Now add Olympic gold medalists who were born in Jamaica but moved away as kids...Ben Johnson Canada (yes I know), Linford Christie GB and Donovan Bailey Canada.
Of course there was also World Champion Yohan Blake and the great Usain Bolt.
Now add ....
