You should've seen this coming at the World Relays at the Bahamas. You did decent in Field events but you over-relied on track events, particularly the sprints. Jamaica needs variety in athletics. That way if the sprints don't produce results you pick up other medals in other events like the field events. Why the JAAA doesn't diversify with all of the great athletic talent in Jamaica I don't know.
Despite this Olympics being labelled as the worst, I want to thank our athletes for staying committed, donning the black, green and gold while representing themselves. The results no one is pleased with but we thank you for your hard work. Those who are injured we are hoping for quick recoveries as we look forward to seeing you next year. Rest up and be healed, we out there rooting for you all.
True. This was the worst olympics ever... And Paris should never host another event ever. So glad its over i can put this behind me and focus on the diamond leagues and world championship.
Maverick me a give thanks because this little dot on the map we had some good times so me brushing this one to the side and pray to God to live to see the next Olympics and knowing my Jamaican people going back with vengeance,thanks team Jamaica nuff love 🇯🇲 🇯🇲❤️❤️
Major factors contributing to team performance-1. Injuries , 2. Petty fighting between the JAAA & JOA including these bodies lack of support for field event athletes, 3. Host country poor handling of the OLYMPICS-France is the worst host I have seen
I remember when we celebrated the 5 that we got like crazy, we should be supportive of the people that push their bodies and put on our colours to represent us.
And the countries that won medals aren't Godly? Godly yet so much killing and child molestation and all sorts happening there, the most church per square mile but yet Godly..fool yuhself!
Bwoy Maverick I was in Paris and this is the reasoning i had with myself to get some comfort.....Shericka injured, Shelly injured, Oblique injured in the finals, Ackera drop, Hibbert injured, 4 by 4 women baton, Roshawn drop, Malik drop, bad baton pass in mens 4 by 1, Nickesha Pryce sick on the day.....one bag a saltness
Jamaica performance at the Paris Olympics was disastrous. It's the first time since the 1976 Olympics that a woman has never won a medal in the sprints. Was very sad to see considering how well Jamaica has been doing on the track since 2008. Sprinting is the national sport for Jamaica. The problem is Jamaica athletes are always injured.
Id you say sprinting? Or embezzlement ad the national sport? Homicide close 2nd... Sprinting no higher than 5th. A God grace and mercy wi a live aafa. That is the true meaning of like && tallaouah?
In 2021 and 2022, the 'big 3' where responsible for more than half of our medal total and 1/4 in 2023 (including the 4x1), the team suffered as a result of their absence. Instead of the usual 9-12, we got 6, essentially removing the big 3 cut our medal total. Then the injuries and illnesses of the women's team. I agree with your analysis Maverick, we were just salt, it wasn't to be our year. The team is young and will come back for 2028, until then, the focus for them is Tokyo 2025
Nervousness was a strong confound to the perfornances of the Jamaican athletes at the 2024 Olympics. In preparation to compete in major championships, the Jamaican team should hire a provisional neuropsychologist to orient the athletes in techniques with which they can use nervousness as a reflexive complement to reinforce excelling in their feats of choice.
I agree 💯. First time I’ve realised how much weight upcoming athletes carry to perform on the main stage. Jamaica is known for athletics globally. Our stars have now retired. Those are very big shoes to fill.
I expected poor performance fall off only predicted 7-8 medals but complete wipe out was a shock. JAAA is the problem management has finally caught upto us, but we also had fall off from the high and we have forgotten how to not win gold. I'm just happy we didn't leave without gold
I understand Mr. Tracey but I appreciate all our Athletes, no matter what, ❤ we are a Small Island, our Athletes got injured so sad but I appreciate them. But I understand what you are trying to say.🇯🇲
Paris isn't such a nice place after all see how Haiti is still indebted to them check the history worst Olympics in the history it was like a nightmare on Elm Street
With all the stats that you gave, that's the reason I don't feel too bad. Did i want our athletes to do way better??? Of course, but then I remember the days when we weren't doing much in the Olympics. I applaud our athlete's efforts and I see great potential for the future.
Maverick yuh run backway to 1956... looking forward,, that's why you need to support Ms Todd's situation, because when wi "salt" on the track our field will be there for us as we see.
You can imagine mi a watch or attend since 1968 Mexico (Moscow 1980 Merlene bronze 200m was 1st live Olympics) I was watching in the UK and can confirm this was the worst Broadcast from the BBC I have ever witnessed. They didn't even show or have live shots of Roje Stona. I Had to go to Eurosports to get news of what was happening to our athletes. Anyway all done and dusted now. Guess I have World Champs next year to look forward to - God willing.
Fair points. Young ones will come into their own in time. But i dont buy di salt argument😀. Injuries must be better managed. We need more specialists in that area. Coaching and preparation could be improved in certain areas. But we did well with limited resources. Administrators need to give account too.
Yeah but injuries never had anything to with Danielle Williams clipping the hurdles,or Ackera Nugent not finishing the race or dropping the baton in the 4x400 women or the men not qualifying for the 4x400
THIS is the critical comment. Luck is a factor but luck has to be met with preparation. We are struggling with injury management (even from Champs level), mindset coaching/prep, a more robust JAAA and JOA, etc. how can we fill these gaps to sustain our pipeline and stem the losses. That’s the analysis we need to hear, as that is more tactical given increasingly competitiveness of T&A. This “salt” analysis is missing this.
But we do spend the money on di atleets dem. The administrators fi tap teck di ting like dem patti shap R feed'n 3. Same treatment fi foot ball we will not see another world cup until the administrators are made accountable. Only paid when results are see. Check the model for the top club leagues globally.
Maverick, thanks for including the photo showing two of our late Greats 🇯🇲 in competition: Dr. Arthur Wint and Herb McKenley 5:35 In 1948 Olympics, Wint and McKenley gave us Gold and Silver respectively in the 400m. Wint got Silver in the 800m. This was reportedly the first time that 🇯🇲 competed as a nation at the Olympics. In 1952 Olympics, Wint, McKenley, George Rhoden (now 97), and the late Leslie Laing won Gold in the 4 by 400m relay, doing so in world record time. For the 400m, Rhoden won Gold, and McKenley Silver. Apart from the Olympics, Wint, McKenley, and Rhoden individually won gold and silver at other international competitions. Rhoden and McKenley were also individual world record holders. 🇯🇲 didn’t just start winning Gold medals and setting world records ’yesterday’. In good times and bad, we’ll keep building our athletics legacy. Wheel and come again 🇯🇲
Yeah we salt, but hopefully things will get better. Disappointed but grateful to the other athletes who was able perform and got us medals which most of us weren’t expecting. Congratulations to all the athletes who represented Jamaica. Big up unuh self, and always nuff respect ❤❤❤❤🤗🇯🇲🇯🇲🍾🍸
Thanks to all the athletes for representing Jamaica at the just concluded olympics. Congrats🎉 to the ones who earned a medal and encouraging the ones who did not get one all the best for the next games. Jamaica did not get a single gold medal from the 2000 Olympics and we improved in 2004 and there was further improvement in 2008; so with the younger athletes coming through (baring injuries), the administrative bodies and the government getting their act together we should perform better for worlds and the next Olympics.
Also to add: The Gold medal for the hundred-meter men's final should have been shared between both winners, they rounded off the times by 1/1000s of a second, (WRONG) it should have been 1/100s of a second because it was a Final (IOC POLICY)....it happened in Beijing 2008 (Shelly got the Gold and Sherone and Keron shared the Silver because they did the same time.
Also Nickisha Pryce getting sick and not making it out of the women’s 400m. Sean Bailey and Deandre Watkins - injured Malik James King and Roshawn Clarke - Clipped the last hurdle.
Disappointed in a context yes but still cant say we’ve been simply spoilt since 2008. The track and field program has grown and expanded and is it does, so too must our medal expectations. Otherwise though I agree with you 100%. Wi did just salt da year ya. Mek wi si wah 2028 bring
I must give credit to my Jamaican people we are certainly one nation full if overachievers..... Can u imagine Trinidad winning 6 medals at an Olympics and be upset.... Big up Jamaican athletes
Mr.Maverick, congrstulation on the winners and losers. We will come back stronger. We are little but talawah. There are nation that have more people to than us, and only get one or two medals. Keep Up The Good Work. Blessings. ...
Is management why Shericka , Shelly, & Elaine got injured? Or that the girl drop the baton in the 4x4 or that Kishane lost that Gold medal???? Dont think so
Oral Tracey Maverick’s Medal Prediction. Total Medals Predicted: 11 Medals Won: 6 Medal Count Accuracy: 54.55% Correct Medal Type: 0 Incorrect Medal Type: 3 Medal Type Accuracy: 0.00% Overall Accuracy: 27.27% NB:3 Medals were unpredicted as listed below: 1.Shot put 2.Discus Throw 3.Men’s Long jump I must say. This was disappointing but there were several enlightening moments that could be appreciated.
All this is a teaching moment. We have been spoilt into thinking medals are a given. Reality check!!!!! Like all other countries we/Jamaica have to invest and perform proportionately & sequentially, to reap the results thereafter. Thank God for what we got. PERIOD!
Yes we were fortunate that so many great athletes came along from 2004 - 2020. But nothing last forever, time to rebuild now. Time also for better governance/leadership from The JAAA and JOA.
Our athletes were unprepared for 2024, they were visibly lacking support and the leadership proved they are inadequate, incompetent, thoughtless, combative and all colluding to be thieves, misappropriating the funds set aside for athletics and the athletes. These officials time was better used to chat, brag, bully, manipulate and look for their own shine as opposed to getting Jamaican athletes prepared for the Olympics ahead of the actual competition and Olympic year. I did not truly realize that Jamaica was passively a dictatorship country because if you dare to complain you are abolished, ostracized and bankrupt for talking up or advocating for one’s self. This type of government must stop in 2024 where is the Jamaica land we love? They think we can’t make this change but let us show JOA & JAAA that the voice and vote of the country’s people will prevail we can stop their checks through sponsorship by posting and talking, complaining about their behavior or lack there of. I’m so sick of this, then can you imagine how much more our athletes have to endure 🤚🏾💔💯🙏🏾🇯🇲
Agree with the Maverick this time. One of his best I think. Another very important injury that affected Jamaica this Olympics was our 2023 World Athletics Championships gold medalist Antonio Watson getting injured during the trials. Big up our field athletes for their strong contribution. I believe our track athletes will start bouncing back at the 2025 World Athletics Championships, and remind the world that we are a sprint factory.
Good morning Oral. Our athlete garnered six medals we whould be grateful. Life is filled with hiccups. Who has ever had a smoothly sailing life. This something we all can learn from. I was extremely disappointed with the outcome of Kishane and Seville race. I feel it so much. I want to express my gratitude to our athletes. It is not saltiness. It is called life. Let's move on from here❤❤❤❤
My take:- 1.There was too much bad energy from the onset with the JOA and JAAA - We need younger less egotistical persons who are in touch with reality to head these associations. 2. The lack of a comfortable space with ac had some effect on the performance of the athletes, how can they rest in that heat? - Did the management team have the same type of accommodation? 3. I think once you are taking an athlete for a particular event there MUST be a coach with the relevant technical skills in the camp to assist them. Yes we had some bad luck, but I do think that the JAAA thinks that what worked 30 years ago when it was cooler temperature and we had no athletes in field events should be replicated in 2024. Thanks to all the athletes for showing up and trying their best in the situation. We appreciate your effort. Next time we will get them!
Maverick it is not our usual haul but let us be grateful and thankful to the Heavenly Father for what we received.. I pray Paris/France never host another Olympics for the rest of its existence on the earth. The opening ceremony was filled with too much evil. On the positive note this Olympics opened our eyes to our field events athletes and that is a good thing. Our athletes never had it easy in Paris, hearing on another channel that Alana Reid was racially profiled by the security when she was on her way to training. She indicated that she was grabbed up land manhandled ike a criminal. Very sad!!! May Almighty God deal with those security officers in the way they ought to be dealt with.
Oral this is my two cents. We are very good at sprints. It's a surprise not to see any of our top sprinters run. I remember back in the days Merline Ottey always carry home some thing. They should have allowed Shelly Anne to enter the gate, since she already had a spot in the heat. We are a trying nation of 3 million Some countries have more than us😮 and got nothing. They will do better at the Diamond League . We have alot of young athletes that are doing pretty well😢😢😢😢😮 and will excell. Things will workout for the better. We will wheel and come back again. Keep Up The Good Work Blessings.
God pulled me from the Paris Olympics. God is strategic. I missed the Opening Ceremony (Thank God). I accompanied a family member to an appointment and missed the whole Opening Ceremony. Then I heard what occurred at the Opening Ceremony; the freaks were out unapologetically, the mocking of my LORD'S Last Supper.. I did not watch anything. No opening, no closing and nothing in between, but like I say "all the credit goes to Almighty God. Not even to watch delayed events on RUclips...I did not do it. I heard random results from family and friends. Like.. KISHANE THOMPSON and NOAH LYLES becoming the new face of photo finish.. the poster kids , and Noah Lyles repeating what he did in the Tokyo Olympics. He declared then, " Bronze is boring." This time covid was responsible . The men's 4 × 100 m debacle.. nothing new for the US.. but if the Lord TARRIES, just look to see what will happen in LA 2028. It might cause Atlanta 1996 to look like child's play. Maybe Flo Jo's 10.49 might be shattered by an American woman .Who knows. All in all, it sounds as if this was the worst Olympics the world has seen thus far. Still proud of the land of my birth🇯🇲🇯🇲 and respect to my adopted country via naturalization 🇺🇲🇺🇲
These people let go a serial murderer. No wonder we have so much mishaps in the Olympics. The amount of wickedness that befall the country is unprecedented.
Totally agree maverick, we salt this yr, so many injuries from athletes and that gave other countries like 🇺🇸 the advantage, but it's called life challenges, congrats to our athletes for representing us
The Jamaican government ought to do something hard and fast to repair both the JAAA and the JOA, as both organizations are complacent, lazy, and reckless, thus ineffective. Heads should roll from Shelly's incident at the Paris Olympics. If little St Lucia could secure Julien Alfred for the country's first Gold medal, why couldn't Jamaica do the same for Shelly?!! If Jamaicans are saying that the Paris Olympics is Jamaica's Saltest Olympics, then there is some responsibility to be had in the lack of performance discipline among the athletes and the coaching staff as well. For example, why didn't Franno (The Head of....) and the MVP Track Club resolve Shericka's injury in time for the Olympics?!!!!!
Preach, one 100 percent on the money. Usain Bolt and Shelly and Elaine put a spotlight on track and so everyone now putting their best foot forward. I always say Asafa world record was a blessing and a curse for him. Blessings he did well financially he won team Olympic gold but curse because it put a fire under other athletes which made his job much harder. Fair analysis sir.
I did already predicted Jamaica team was gonna ended up with about 3 medals..and those medals I predicted was from Shelly and Shericka/Seville..until I saw Kishane pops up..I said ok we could see more medals..but none of the above excepted Kishane got we a medal in the sprints..Tia and Nugent is the only 2 girls I saw competed..the rest went there just for a vacation! 😊..and I always have my trusted in Broadbell than Parchment..and also field event shocked us..them take shame out we eyes!😅..Thank You..Stona and Ricketts 👏🏾
Listening to you now we cannot say that this is our worst olympics. This is sports we rise and fall....other athletes will always be ahead of us. Let us be grateful
*Mavrick* I need you talk on the topic regarding the changes that need administratively. This Olympics might be a blessing in disgusted as it will put pressure on the JAAA to accept that Adidas mega contract.
The dissapointment as I understand it stems from the lack (for whatever reason) of really competitive participation from our world class Atheletes on the track. Especially that we did not get the farewell from The GREAT Shelly - Pocket Rocket, so sad as we all love her so much. But our performance on the Field is amazing and we should celebrate their accomplishments. Jamaica to the WURL! Big up yourself!
The worst Olympic mi ever watch, every single thing went wrong😢
You should've seen this coming at the World Relays at the Bahamas. You did decent in Field events but you over-relied on track events, particularly the sprints. Jamaica needs variety in athletics. That way if the sprints don't produce results you pick up other medals in other events like the field events. Why the JAAA doesn't diversify with all of the great athletic talent in Jamaica I don't know.
Especially for Jamaica for the large part
Same sentiments attached
Man a fight woman in a boxing 😂😂😂
Worst for Jamaica. Not for Jamaica.
Despite this Olympics being labelled as the worst, I want to thank our athletes for staying committed, donning the black, green and gold while representing themselves.

They are going to be adding Crickett to the next OG. Jamaica could also add something to that sport.
Major factors contributing to team performance-1. Injuries , 2. Petty fighting between the JAAA & JOA including these bodies lack of support for field event athletes, 3. Host country poor handling of the OLYMPICS-France is the worst host I have seen

This is indeed the worst Olympics. However, congratulations to all the athletes 👏👏👏
Great improvement Jamaicans*we love u *
Ah Maverick fault enuh
Not really - 20 years ago we had 5 medals ! Not the worse

All this is a teaching moment. We have been spoilt into thinking medals are a given. Reality check!!!!! Like all other countries we/Jamaica have to invest and perform proportionately & sequentially, to reap the results thereafter. Thank God for what we got. PERIOD!
Yes we were fortunate that so many great athletes came along from 2004 - 2020. But nothing last forever, time to rebuild now. Time also for better governance/leadership from The JAAA and JOA.
Well said
Agreed with your analysis here Maverick 👍
We need some one to speak up for our athletes when our times equal to our opponents .
Our athletes were unprepared for 2024, they were visibly lacking support and the leadership proved they are inadequate, incompetent, thoughtless, combative and all colluding to be thieves, misappropriating the funds set aside for athletics and the athletes. These officials time was better used to chat, brag, bully, manipulate and look for their own shine as opposed to getting Jamaican athletes prepared for the Olympics ahead of the actual competition and Olympic year. I did not truly realize that Jamaica was passively a dictatorship country because if you dare to complain you are abolished, ostracized and bankrupt for talking up or advocating for one’s self. This type of government must stop in 2024 where is the Jamaica land we love? They think we can’t make this change but let us show JOA & JAAA that the voice and vote of the country’s people will prevail we can stop their checks through sponsorship by posting and talking, complaining about their behavior or lack there of. I’m so sick of this, then can you imagine how much more our athletes have to endure 🤚🏾💔💯🙏🏾🇯🇲
Oral Tracey Maverick. Respect, you are by far the best Jamaican RUclipsr
We have to pray for them they well do better next time 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🙏
Our Athletes were just going through the motions.
Salt fe true...
Jamaica has set the bars so high. We not going to have a good Olympics anytime soon.
Agree with the Maverick this time. One of his best I think. Another very important injury that affected Jamaica this Olympics was our 2023 World Athletics Championships gold medalist Antonio Watson getting injured during the trials. Big up our field athletes for their strong contribution. I believe our track athletes will start bouncing back at the 2025 World Athletics Championships, and remind the world that we are a sprint factory.
Good morning Oral. Our athlete garnered six medals we whould be grateful. Life is filled with hiccups. Who has ever had a smoothly sailing life. This something we all can learn from. I was extremely disappointed with the outcome of Kishane and Seville race. I feel it so much. I want to express my gratitude to our athletes. It is not saltiness. It is called life. Let's move on from here❤❤❤❤
We had even three throwers in the discuss final.
Mi more than disappointed mi madd at the JAAA dem too WUTLISS 😂😂😂😂😂
I am still in disbelief can't believe
Well said Sir💯
Changing of the guard. Moving on.
My take:- 1.There was too much bad energy from the onset with the JOA and JAAA - We need younger less egotistical persons who are in touch with reality to head these associations. 2. The lack of a comfortable space with ac had some effect on the performance of the athletes, how can they rest in that heat? - Did the management team have the same type of accommodation? 3. I think once you are taking an athlete for a particular event there MUST be a coach with the relevant technical skills in the camp to assist them. Yes we had some bad luck, but I do think that the JAAA thinks that what worked 30 years ago when it was cooler temperature and we had no athletes in field events should be replicated in 2024. Thanks to all the athletes for showing up and trying their best in the situation. We appreciate your effort. Next time we will get them!
Maverick it is not our usual haul but let us be grateful and thankful to the Heavenly Father for what we received.. I pray Paris/France never host another Olympics for the rest of its existence on the earth. The opening ceremony was filled with too much evil. On the positive note this Olympics opened our eyes to our field events athletes and that is a good thing. Our athletes never had it easy in Paris, hearing on another channel that Alana Reid was racially profiled by the security when she was on her way to training. She indicated that she was grabbed up land manhandled ike a criminal. Very sad!!! May Almighty God deal with those security officers in the way they ought to be dealt with.
From longtime mi say somebody Obeah Jamaica dis Olympics 😭😭🤣🤣
We had so many misfortune this year which hamper our full maximum potential
Oral this is my two cents. We are very good at sprints. It's a surprise not to see any of our top sprinters run. I remember back in the days Merline Ottey always carry home some thing. They should have allowed Shelly Anne to enter the gate, since she already had a spot in the heat. We are a trying nation of 3 million
Some countries have more than us😮 and got nothing. They will do better at the Diamond League
. We have alot of young athletes that are doing pretty well😢😢😢😢😮 and will excell. Things will workout for the better. We will wheel and come back again. Keep Up The Good Work
Blessings.
Poor management was a major factor the Jaaa,Joa and some of the coaches to much big ego need some changes.🇯🇲
God pulled me from the Paris Olympics. God is strategic. I missed the Opening Ceremony (Thank God). I accompanied a family member to an appointment and missed the whole Opening Ceremony. Then I heard what occurred at the Opening Ceremony; the freaks were out unapologetically, the mocking of my LORD'S Last Supper.. I did not watch anything. No opening, no closing and nothing in between, but like I say "all the credit goes to Almighty God. Not even to watch delayed events on RUclips...I did not do it. I heard random results from family and friends. Like.. KISHANE THOMPSON and NOAH LYLES becoming the new face of photo finish.. the poster kids , and Noah Lyles repeating what he did in the Tokyo Olympics.
He declared then, " Bronze is boring." This time covid was responsible . The men's 4 × 100 m debacle.. nothing new for the US.. but if the Lord TARRIES, just look to see what will happen in LA 2028. It might cause Atlanta 1996 to look like child's play.
Maybe Flo Jo's 10.49 might be shattered by an American woman .Who knows.
All in all, it sounds as if this was the worst Olympics the world has seen thus far.
Still proud of the land of my birth🇯🇲🇯🇲 and respect to my adopted country via naturalization 🇺🇲🇺🇲
These people let go a serial murderer. No wonder we have so much mishaps in the Olympics. The amount of wickedness that befall the country is unprecedented.
Totally agree maverick, we salt this yr, so many injuries from athletes and that gave other countries like 🇺🇸 the advantage, but it's called life challenges, congrats to our athletes for representing us
The Jamaican government ought to do something hard and fast to repair both the JAAA and the JOA, as both organizations are complacent, lazy, and reckless, thus ineffective. Heads should roll from Shelly's incident at the Paris Olympics. If little St Lucia could secure Julien Alfred for the country's first Gold medal, why couldn't Jamaica do the same for Shelly?!! If Jamaicans are saying that the Paris Olympics is Jamaica's Saltest Olympics, then there is some responsibility to be had in the lack of performance discipline among the athletes and the coaching staff as well. For example, why didn't Franno (The Head of....) and the MVP Track Club resolve Shericka's injury in time for the Olympics?!!!!!
Preach, one 100 percent on the money. Usain Bolt and Shelly and Elaine put a spotlight on track and so everyone now putting their best foot forward. I always say Asafa world record was a blessing and a curse for him. Blessings he did well financially he won team Olympic gold but curse because it put a fire under other athletes which made his job much harder. Fair analysis sir.
If Oblique Seville if he wasn't injured, we would have definitely gotten a medal in the 4X1
Seville wasn't injured he was embarrassed he got last. He faked the injury to try and make people feel sorry for him.
@@roybabineaux5353 👍🏽
Yes Maverick , that was my thinking, saltness. Next time we move in silence and do the FANFAIR 🎉🎉N BOOSTING after
We love and appreciate all our allthletes, despite the downfall of Jamaica's team (SALT BADDD Maverick)
I did already predicted Jamaica team was gonna ended up with about 3 medals..and those medals I predicted was from Shelly and Shericka/Seville..until I saw Kishane pops up..I said ok we could see more medals..but none of the above excepted Kishane got we a medal in the sprints..Tia and Nugent is the only 2 girls I saw competed..the rest went there just for a vacation! 😊..and I always have my trusted in Broadbell than Parchment..and also field event shocked us..them take shame out we eyes!😅..Thank You..Stona and Ricketts 👏🏾
Listening to you now we cannot say that this is our worst olympics. This is sports we rise and fall....other athletes will always be ahead of us. Let us be grateful
There's the thing!!Jamaica needs to Wheel and come again for 2028 Olympic..
we need a Performance center
Thanks Maverick, History is a stubborn thing.
Most problem was too much media up in the Jamaican camp
*Mavrick* I need you talk on the topic regarding the changes that need administratively. This Olympics might be a blessing in disgusted as it will put pressure on the JAAA to accept that Adidas mega contract.
I agree with you Maverick. We a go wheel and come again. 2028 We’ll be back. Beginning at the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP.
Thanks Jamaica 🇯🇲..still grateful 🙏
Helsinki in 1952 was our best haul, carrying 8 athletes and getting 5 medals.
Pleeeze
The Olympic waslean
I would love to hear from the Olympics personnel to speak out
Boy wen I was watching this Olympic we look like a our first time
The dissapointment as I understand it stems from the lack (for whatever reason) of really competitive participation from our world class Atheletes on the track. Especially that we did not get the farewell from The GREAT Shelly - Pocket Rocket, so sad as we all love her so much. But our performance on the Field is amazing and we should celebrate their accomplishments. Jamaica to the WURL! Big up yourself!
