Before the 2014 athletics season, Jaheel Hyde posted a picture on the social media outlet Instagram with the words “look out, greatness is coming.”
It was a bold statement to make but one the gifted and versatile Jamaican has more than lived up to in a remarkable year in which he landed the 400m hurdles title at the IAAF World Junior Championships in Eugene last month, and who on Saturday posted a stunning world youth best time of 12.96 en route to 110m gold at the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing.
“I planned out my season and achieved everything that I wanted to accomplish,” said Hyde. “It was the complete season for me. I now plan on going home (to Jamaica) and getting some rest.”
