Gold Or Not, Asafa Says He'll Be Remembered As A Great

[Willi]

Asafa will always be the first Jamaican to buss the WR. Dat alone seals his legacy in Jamaica. Then the simple matter of 81 sub-10s and counting is another talking point.

Burrell is lost in a sea of fast Americans. He is talked about in Lausanne as he broke the WR there.

Merlene is still remembered too and not because of the 2 200m golds she finally won.

i JAMAICA. well if that is aim, mission accomplished and him have some dollas in the bank too. still, IMHO, given his obvious talent, he has underachieved internationally.

Why not? many outdeh great ah nuh acheive championship gold. Him record of sub-10 run mek dat deh determination easy. How dem check records.

[Willi]

Agreed about underperform, howevere.. The 81+ sub10 is not chopped liver.

Burrell was not close. Even Mo Green at 2nd place is 53 or so. Bolt has 24 for comparison.

Who have di most sub 9.7s?
