THE TRUE REASON THE JAMAICAN MEN 400M RUNNERS DID NOT RUN THE RELAY TO QUALIFY JAMAICA

- After investigation, the reports show that the men 400m runners pulled out of the 4x400m relay because they were concern about their own individual event. Learn the truth.
This is definitely going to be their last because honestly I do not see any of them making the 400 finals Or getting a medal in the individual event. Selfishness will never stop but they will live to regret their decision… blessings Dr , you are doing a fantastic job
Did you see watson winning at world champs last year.
Also having run that time last year did you see antonio watson not qualifying this year.
I didnt expect him to qualify this year because i saw an injured man at the end of that race and i knew no one would realise. He should have been pulled and not race in the 4x 400. He would have been fine this year.
@@anthonychristie8378 much appreciated comment. Walk good Anthony
@@razzalee305is watson there now?
The worst part is that they would LOVE to claim a spot on the Olympic relay team if they qualified. They did themselves a disservice. They thought the team would make it without them. This is why I hate team work.
This is absolutely a sabotage. They were ill advised and not professional athletes. This is very sad and we’re very disappointed in them.
I think they should try to qualify for the relay because they stand a better chance to medal in the relay than their individual event. However, that’s their choices so I respect it regardless of how I feel.
I would not use any of them (top 3) on the mixed relay in Paris let them run their 400mh and go sit in the stands they can use both hurdlers.
I said it before sir, Jamaica has 3 44. runners and if they refused to compete in that relay. That shows selfishness. They should have been severely reprimanded. Or face even their spots in the 400.
You are correct Gregory. What are the odds of all 3 400m runners plus the 400m hurdler being injured just before the relay? 2 of them will be running this Sunday and next Thursday in Paris and Monaco.
Oh my word, this is so sad & disappointed, I am just here thinking of the late and great Herb Mckinley, Authur Wint, Les Laing, & George Rhoden in Helsinki 1952. These new guys are just not patriotic, sometimes I think it"s all about me and the money, no love for Jamaica.
Bleeeh
Good for them that was their best chance of winning a medal at the Olympics.
For reasons i do not know the men clearly did not want to run. Clearly each of them will not medal but as a team they could all come away with a medal. I agree somewhere down the road their deliberate action will come back to haunt them. Other countries field their strongest runners. They are facing the same scenario that runners from other countries are also facing. The thinking of these men is clearly warped. If it can be shown that they were healthy but refused to run the 4X4 they should not be representing the country in the flat race either.
Regardless of how we feel they earned the rights to go to Paris. Yes, they stand a better chance to medal in the relay because I don’t see them getting any individually. Well, I maybe wrong because nobody saw Watson winning last year.
Here after the Olympics, and their actions did come back to haunt them. I knew this would have been the result, individually they were not performing at a level to go beyond the first round but collectively they could have made the 4x400M finals. I hope they learn from this experience.
I miss the days of the outstanding Bertland Cameron, Gregory Haughton, Danny McFarlane and others who represented with heart and love for country 🇯🇲
Well. There is a country out there somewhere that is smiling their a$$es off, because Jamaica did not bump them out of their qualifying spot.
Jamaicans have a saying that U should not tell lie on sickness because U will call it on yourself. None of the 3 will get a medal.
It would add to the athletes legacy more positively if they walk away with an Olympic medal as part of a relay team than not medaling in their individual event, so not running the relay was a self-defeating decision.
I think the top 3 from the 400m and the top two from the 400mh are just selfish. If them same runners had placed 4-5-6 palaces low or false start I guarantee they would be out there eager to run that relay. But because they secured their individual spots the relay no longer mattered. If it was the American their top 3 would be the 1st out there ready to lay it on the line for their country they are patriots that’s what was lacking from the top three and both hurdlers.
Jamaica men’s 4x4 team from the 5 above mentioned are capable of medalling and it isn’t far fetch to think they could even have won if they were willing to dig deep n fight. Individually I don’t see any of them medalling hope I’m proven wrong .
Even if there was disorganisation amongst athletes and coaches they should just humble themselves and look past it in and do it for their country
I think the athletes in this case are misinformed. Not sure how they'd impact their chances in the individual event by running the 4x400m. That's true only in the mix 4x400m but not the men's 4x400m which comes at the end of the championships on the final day of track and field where the individual event would have finished. Running an extra 400m on Sunday is a normal thing that athletes train for and they would have done if the 400m at trials was three rounds. I don't know for certain but when I saw the situation unfolding, I knew something was off. I ALWAYS put blame on the JAAA but maybe for the first time ever, i must say they made a good effort to assist us in qualifying and it would have icing on the cake. I don't think the athletes fully grasp what it means to make the Olympics and the more times you put on the national colors in a finals the bigger your brand so it's to their advantage as well. It's also to the advantage of the additional members of the relay pool who I'm sure are the ones who actually ran but are now not able to go to Paris.
I would not carry them to Paris based on their actions.
Can’t blame the Athletes. JAAA had Penn relays, World Relays and a ton of other track meets. When they risk getting hurt, Jaaa will not be responsible for their bills. Franno is right…..Jaaa have persons making decisions who should not be doing so
None of the athletes & their coaches made to themselves available for meets with relays, the JAAA has limited control, if any ,over individual athletes & their coaches, Bet we wouldn't have this problem in an individual event
They collected the perks then backed out. They probably party Saturday night. I look forward to 4x4 at all championships. Why not just say no from the get go. Too many individual minds in track and field now.
There should be some kind of sanction for their actions
@chchi663 The Jaaa have to be careful about anything call sanction because their popularity is in the gutter.
Some people place the blamed at the Jaaa feet,
And the good Dr should say if he have any affiliation with the Jaaa too..
Any suggestion? The athletes would just lawyer up. Too many Jamaicans have low self esteem and like to be treated poorly by authority kolonial days are long over.
And the sad part is that none of them might not even make the finals at the Olympics.
I don’t know why athletes would fake an injury.
Gone are the days when our 400m runners have that fire of a Davian Clarke or a Michael Haughton.
I guess folks these days are looking for longevity.
I remember my coach would tell me that track and field is the most unforgiving sport and trust me. Those words still echo in my ears.
How could I forget Michael Blackwood. Lol.
When our 400m runners had a special place in our hearts. Those were the days.
I go back to the original error being made which was not being prepared for the World Relays. Any of the times run post World Relays in an attempt to qualify (2:59.75 at NACAC Invitational 🇧🇸 or 2:59.87 at the National Championship 🇯🇲) would have been more than sufficient if run at that meet. The fastest time run on Day 1 which sent 8 teams to the Olympics 2.59.73. The fastest time ran on Day 2 where an additional 6 teams qualified was 2:59.95. Only being able to run 3:02.46 on Day 1 when any time faster than 3:02.10 would have qualified. Then come back and run 3:05.09 on Day 2 when all it required was to run faster than 3:02.91 in that heat.
They were wrong to do this I’m talking about the athletes two wrongs don’t make a right
@@mikecowan-tu6up I agree. They took advantage of running only 2 rounds and then skip town
@@LetsTalkWithDrGreg Greg they played the JAAA they should have let them ran the three days but the only ran two days it’s for your country I’m so pissed 😤 off by their actions they should be sanctioned for this
@@mikecowan-tu6up I would not go that far to say sanction them. They are still young and lack experience. What their action did was to create more distrust between federations and athletes.
@@LetsTalkWithDrGreg something should be done ✅ I’m so disappointed with their actions
@@mikecowan-tu6up trust me, I understand why you feel that way
Why did they do it? These runners have been putting country first and their concerns were not addressed.
Keep in mind the JAAA reduced the rounds by one to facilitate them running the relay. Their refusal to run is disappointing and selfish. Other athletes welcome the opportunity to run for their country, but not these guys. Sad and a reflection of where we are as Jamaicans.
None of the top 3 will medal . Look at Sean Bailey performance last year . We taught he would medal but he was placed 5 in the final and walked away with relay medal .
I think they would have stood a better chance in medaling in the 4*4 because none of them are going to medal in their events .....they scammed the JAAA but its going to haunt them
No injury, sabbatage by Business, we better start looking for athlete who train here,too much outside interference
The young men and women aren’t proud to be Jamaican anymore. From the women footballers to this male baller that prefer to keep a party. The men’s 4x400 has been Jamaica bread and butter for some 70 plus years. I can’t for give this disrespect
I will admit that JAAA had several opportunities to qualify a team but what these young men did... ooohhh, wrong! Truth is hat they will not get an individual medal. Life still, their choice!
Dr. Gregory this process were not thought thru very wel, the country should have been the focus. If they are not injured it was a selfish decision on the 3 guys who would have been rewarded with the 4x4 being qualified.. " Our rewards in life will always be in direct proportion to our contribution" Jamaica was in a crisis and was in need of their service and a chance to create history..
I agree with and i am also disappointed Jamaicans love to watch relays. However coaches and athletes became this way because of decades of neglect and mistreatment from JAAA.
When wi going “stop punish” and reason things out “under a tree” like we use to?
Certain entities have the “whole world” in pain because of their misdeeds and thought process.
i and i are not here to “continue pain and punishment.”
Is it sad that professional athletes with the tremendous opportunity to represent their country at the highest level responded this way. I think a lot of these athletes have lost their way as well as their passion and purpose. It’s not only selfish but senseless in the grand scheme of things. When you look at the USA Post bolt years they’ve made an adjustment to refocussing on having the best teams out there at world relays or international competitions. At some part of the way Jamaica has lost that competitive edge.
Can't agree with this position. "I can't give back what I don't receive".. The athlete pretty much dealt with JAAA how they have been treated in the past.
The top 400m runners seem like they were at fault due to the wrong perspective from their Coaches who probably wanted a payout.
These boys ran harder for USA based Colleges but not their own Country. This is utter nonsense.
@@SpeedSportsMag. facts smh 🤦♂️ they’ll pay for it in Paris
Greg, probably Sean Bailey does have a reason as to why he wasn't keen on running.He won at the Olympic trials in.2021 but was asked to run only in the Mixed relay, at last years World Championship he declined to run the relay citing injuries of which we know he had incurred but I didn't believe it bad enough to stopped him from participating.What surprises me was Jevaughn Powell and Malik James King declining,as far as my knowledge of the sports tells me their best opportunity to achieved a medal is in 4×400, soh I don't know Wey dem 'ear bout.These athletes were to be given $1million if they had competed and qualified. Dem 3 is probably collecting some proper 'dunza' silently for ' dem' not to be interested in such an offer.
I’m glad The Jamaica 4 x 4 did not make it to the Olympic. There was a mess. There was not gonna go anywhere anyway I’m glad they didn’t make it. This old shit was a mess you tell me you cannot find four guys in Jamaica to qualify for the Olympic and you trying to make them qualify on the last day of qualification, get out of here. I’m glad they did. They are embarrassment sick and tired of it.
This is a disgraceful historical decision that young men made. Let's see what the impact will be in time...
Perhaps, it's a message to the incompetent and corrupt JAAA and specifically david riley. JAAA does not lead by example, so to expect the coaches and athletes to behave otherwise is a double standard.
that's bull. The athletes are representing themselves and the country, not the JAAA. If they don't get an individual medal and throughway their best chance of medaling how does that help them? is not even a guarantee those same athletes will see another Olympic, because nothing is guarantee.
Tec. Dem off the team.
💯💯💯💯💯
Those 400m athletes and their respective handlers took us down a rabbit hole. While the jaaa cannot completely absolved themselves from this botched situation, no loyalty, patriotism nor unselfishness were exhibited by these athletes. The possibility exist they can medal in the flat 400m however, the 4x4 has loads of history for jamaica which clearly they're unaware. This event offers a clear path for them to medal and to maintain our legacy in the event. Im very disappointed, I cant believe we are still "selling out" and remain shackled by colonial mentality.
The greed and selfishness of these coaches. Too much in fighting in the camps.. The Jaaa did all they could...
They made the team under false pretence … I want to who suggested That the top 16 should not run the first round ..
I would have done the seasons as did the athletes and is that the true reasons why the men didn't run or Jamaica could have made the team at world relay if everyone didn't have to eat a food. The problem is with administration of the JAAA disorganized and poor leadership apparently the athletes lacking the kind of respect and admiration to administration that they would have given a Bruce James or a Mr Glen Mills if they were the president
They are not noah . And he always himself available for any championship . He was at the world relays . These dudes let down Jamaica really band
JAAA should have dropped them entirely from the team and send No. 4 to 6 from the trials!
Greg haughton since your so emotional about 400 runners do a video on antonio watson interview the man research relevant areas anb let us know what happened.
I did that already

Treason Treason TREASON
It is justice for the athlete called T Tracey they waited around to punch him right when he's supposed to compete for the Paris Olympics 😂
The athletes deciding not to run is like “cutting off your nose to spite your face.” In other words, without the JAAA selecting them, they may never again represent Jamaica in future international competitions.
If they don't want to do then it's fine....let's move on there is always more to the story but time will tell ,I for one prefer them forfeiting the race here in Jamaica then in Paris...the team has no trust or respect for the JAAA .... why?
If this is the case, its very poor judgment and poor taste on their part.
It look like some people don't love the country
Could the country not truly loving them be a thing?
Dont worry ..they had a better chance at getting a medal in the 4x400 than in the individual event ... they will have a mountain to climb in the individual 400... these three are no antonio watson
Some of these comments does not make sense I see persons saying none of them will medal in their flat races if they are not good enough to medal individually how will they even possibly medal in the 4x4
You're not making sense here.
I will recommend that you watch this event when the Olympics comes around and count how many of the runners who will be holding a medal after the event made it in the individual race
I would not have run. If they get injured then that's it. This should have been done another way. I respect you Dr. Greg but this was always a risk😕
So in Paris they will run only 2 races as they did in Jamaica and worry about getting injured if they run the required 3rd? Just asking 😅
The top athlete are selffish
I would not let them run at the Olympics
@@Lugtool27 I know how you feel, but they cannot do that
Nothong at all. We dont know that theu all were not having real concerns to risk themselves for administrators who may just turn around and use them only as alternates at the olympics and not im the finals. I have seen this done more than once to athletes ready to give and who has successfully given.
At the end of the day they had fears and did not compete.
When you speculate, speculate how many wanted to run at the world relays and werent selected for some bullshit technicality to let in preferred athletes.
Good point.
Why are we still blaming the athlete when jaaa had almost a year to get the team qualified we had Gibson relays .penns , world relay etc what happen if anyone of them run and get injured I understand what you are saying about the arrangement however jaaa should never have found themselves in this situation making deals behind closed door last minute with athlete unprofessional if you ask me
This comment 💯
Two things can be wrong at the same time. JAAA clearly mishandled the situation, however the athletes themselves did an injustice to their country and even themselves its going to take low 44s to get to the finals. They are mid 44s to high 44..goodluck to them
I was about to comment on this but you articulated my position 💯@@rycardo4146
🤦🏾♂ you cant be serious. All the teams but 1 who qualified for the Olympics qualified at world relays or at EU meet where more than 1 international team was present. JAAA ain't the ones out there running, when the opportunity provided itself for them to qualify they didnt. Hence the mad dash to make a 4x4 event legal at nationals which is unheard of. Just to say "eff you i ain't running"....
JAAA is the problem
Them want big money to run, sellout, that's y they won't win a medal. Madness.
You mean BIGGER money, wasn't a $1m offered to be shared if they qualified?
,
Why did the JAAA wait until the last minute? What were the athletes' concerns? Clearly the JAAA is incompetent. Jamaica's top three 400m runners would not toss away their 4x400m medal chances without a good reason. The investigation of what went wrong should focus on the JAAA.
Amen!
Clearly you dont understand
0 they did not run do not
I disagree with you. The JAAAs want much from the athletes but not willing to give much. Jamaica also want much from these athletes but not willing to give back much.
0 they did not run do not
