Wow. Jamaica did it again.
Our women made history in the 100m final in Beijing. For the first time in Olympic history a country - Jamaica - has taken the first three positions in this event. Shelly-Ann Fraser (21) won gold in 10.78 seconds - her best time to date. Then, Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart both tied for second place in 10.98 seconds. Both Sherone and Kerron collected silver medals.
Man, I always knew Jamaica was special. We have had so many greats over the years across sports, music, politics...everything. This is just more of the same. Thank you God.
Jamaica is now officially the world's fastest nation!! YES WE CAN!!
Proud to be a Jamaican...every time!!!

Thanks, Virtual! We are all really proud and happy. Yes, Usain Bolt was amazing...he made breaking the world record and getting the gold, look sooooo easy! And the funny thing was how he slowed down before the end of the race to celebrate! lol
It seems like the USA forgot to take their "vitamins".
Hehe. Well, they did say that they had dominated this sport for a while and now it may be Jamaica's time. Go JA, Go JA, GO!!!
Enjoyed reading and you are so right, watching Shelly Ann was amazing. One love.
