Hopefully you (and poster Baddaz) will take time out to reflect on my comment, made a couple of years ago, that Jamaica is NOT a sports power, except in track and field (the sprints), netball and, to a much lesser extent, cricket.

You will no doubt recall that discussion, in which I stated that the ONLY Sports Power in the Caribbean region is Cuba.
