    You can't tell us anything. Growing up, Jamaican, we are all sprinters in our minds whether we can run or not. When we line up for our houses on sports day, you can't tell us we are not at the Olympics. That's the culture, and it's ingrained in us. IYKYK

      The USA head to head VS JAM in the two big dances (Olympics and World Champs) in ALL 14 now 15 of the sprint events for men and women since JAM started international racing in 1948 is 36 wins, 1 loss, and 2 ties. The loss was in 2015 WCs where JAM defeated the US in more than half of the sprint events. JAM cannot call itself the Sprint Capital until it consistently beats the US in the majority of the sprints in the two big meets.

      ​@@rowland5951that is part of it, another part is genetics dna. Jamaicans that have lived in other countries have almost always been at the top and have had the record or been close to it. Genetics is a huge factor. Ben Johnson, Donovan Bailey and Linford Christie just to mention who had the world record for the 100m and or had gold medal at the Olympics and world championships

    We also do it by ourselves as children at home not only athletics.Cricket etc. This is from Primary School level.We also play school. Someone will be the teacher and he/she act as the teacher and the ruler is been used too. Get something wrong the student would open their hands and get a few tap in the hand with the ruler.
    Each morning as little six year olds we were taught to wash our under wears We change the overnight one and wash them right away. We do alot of other valuable things to make us shine so well in the world. Hard work pays off.Sometimes I say Lord look at us now! From bare foot to brand name shoes. Thank You Lord ❤ You Lord.

    When a Jamaican is running, they are running towards success.
    When they run they see a big house in front of them.
    They ran with the baton in their hand to pass it to their mother.
    They say mama I'm going to buy you a big house.
    They ran with great expectations in their minds just to let their mother sleep in a king size bed and live in a big house.
    They will run.
