    The USA track team gotta redeem themselves after the embarrassment they put up in 08'. Jamaica pretty much ran over them. Definitely will be checkin for them.

    Yohan Blake, yeah he got that silver medal wrapped up. Wouldnt be surprised if Jamaica smash the relay record. I expect Bolt, Blake, Carter, and Aasafa to smash the world record.

    lol @ a problem for usa's team, i aint even worried bout them, no disrespect.
    That ? is a problem for Jamaica as well cause we wanna win but on the low ? love seeing Bolt win and blake does not give a ? .

    Unless asafa gets the bubble guts again, I fully expect Jamaica to get the quinella(1,2,3) in the 100 meters.

    watch out for that boy raushee warren in the boxing team, dude is gold medal favorite and will probably turn pro after the games.he worked with freddie roach before the olympics and hails from the same gym as adrien broner, who he is supposedly more talented than...
    here's a vid of dude:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATMrrd32dWA&feature=relmfu

    i'm gonna get some tickets for the boxing events, cant wait for the olympics to start :)




    Why isn't he pro already at 25? he's got pretty fast hands but just seems odd that by time he'll be pro he'll be close to 26 .... anyone know the reason for this?

    Baseball, Soccer and Boxing is bigger in Puerto Rico, but they made the Olympics in 2004. So what your point.

    Bruh, stop it. Basketball didn't catch on in Jamaica until the early 2000s. Jamaica is a track, soccer, and cricket country, that's what's stressed in school and to our youth.

    After all, the island is only 2.7 million people, the pool isn't that deep to feed all these different sports compared to America that has over 300 mil people. The fact that Jamaica can produce world class track and field and soccer players is amazing for a small island.
