How many gold medals did Jamaica win at Beijing Olympics? Six. Jamaica has won men's 100 meters, women's 100 meters, men's 200 meters, women's 200 meters and men's 4*100 meters relay. Meanwhile, they have broken many world records:

No.1 men's 100 meters. Bolt broke the record easily. If he didn't slow down in last 10 meters, he might finish within 9'60". Why did he slow down his speed? The news said that his shoelace was loose.

No.2 men's 200 meters. Again, Bolt set a new record.

No.3 men's 4*100 meters relay. Bolt and his teammates also broke the record.

As for women's 100 meters, top three athletes are all from Jamaica. Unbelievable! How could they achieve such great results? It seems that all Jamaicans are all flying men or women. What makes them become flying men or women?


Note: Linford Christie (the champion of men's 100 meters at 1992 Olympics), Donovan Bailey (the champion of men's 100 meters at 1996 Olympics) and Johnson (the champion of men's 200 meters) are all Jamaicans though they represent UK, Canada and US.

Crime is common in Jamaica, so kids there are used to running from the police often. This makes them into great short distance athletes when they mature.

Haven't you seen that they are all blacks? Just like those who are from the Africa, they won the gold medals of long race and marathon easily. Maybe, they are born to be runners.

You are a Racist !

No member of our Olympic team has ever been in trouble with the law. If this is the case in your country don't dare try to even smear Jamaica,

Like every country there are certain high crime areas. I'm not sure how this correlation with our athletes are made!

Hehe, calm down, Jam, it was only a joke.

Jimmy, you have a point, not new, but I think still good. I think last non-black real champion in sprints was Valery Borzov from USSR.

I am not an athletics fan, so I might as well be wrong here.

Carlos, who is Valery Borzov? Forgive my innocence. Never heard of him before. I just know Yelena Isinbayeva who is th princess of pole vault. She never stops challenging herself.

Very beautiful, right?
