Only two days after Jamaica celebrated the 46th anniversary of its independence from Great Britain, Jamaican athletes proved their supremacy in the 100 meter finals at the Olympics in Beijing. Usain Bolt, 21, shattered his own record in the 100 meters by coasting to the finish line with a stunning 10 meter lead! He could have crawled to the finish line on his hands and knees and still won!
On the ladies side, Shelly-Ann Fraser, Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart swept the 100M Finals for the first time in Jamaican history. Fraser took the gold in a blazing 10.78 seconds. My mom is from Jamaica so she’s very proud.
