WOW !

[Mosiah]

That run was stupendous! Absolutely world class! She faded badly as she probably went out too hard, but the time is still great and yes, would have some Boys running scared! And to think that that great run was not a record!

The other world class performance was by the Holmwood Class 4 sprinter - 11.90s in the 100m!!! Astonishing! She went on for two more records, a la Bolt, in the 200m and the relay.

Excellent running form to top it all!

[Peter R]

But is whe dem cum from? Jamaica have a "track facktory" fi true!

[Gamma]

determination.....yuh think any a dem ever hear 'bout a certain usain bolt? all ME wa'an run track again!!

[Mosiah]

With all due respect for Usain, this tradition and determination is coming from long before Usain.

Imagine, next year is the 100th renewal of this meet!

I suggest y'all plan your vacation around Champs 2010. T&F fan or not, it is absolutely the best!

[Gamma]

i know that.....his exposure is unprecedented in jamaican track and field...ok not unprecedented but not since '48 and '52! 3 WR on gold medals at one olympics? him one?

[Mosiah]

Understood! but i just would not want to see some people, esp. the foreign press, come with anything suggesting that Champs became big following the exploits our athletes, esp. Bolt, in Beijing. Cah yuh know dem will do dat!

Good talk!
...and if you check the times over the years, comparing top World times to our Champs times we were even then not far away! Champs has been good for a very long time...if you ask me, always excellent!
