JAMAICA IS BLAZIN THE TRACK AND FIELD MASSIVE BIG UPS TO SHELLY-ANN FRASER
A few fun-loving fresh faces have suddenly turned Jamaica into the "World's Fastest Nation."
And that supposed U.S. track and field juggernaut? Well, things aren't quite going to plan.
Right fist thrust overhead as she crossed the finish line all alone, silver braces shining in the Bird's Nest lights as she hopped in celebration like the 21-year-old she is, little-known Shelly-Ann Fraser won the women's 100 meters Sunday night in 10.78 seconds to help make these Olympics a sweeping success for the Caribbean island.
Fraser was followed across the line, steps later, by teammates Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart, who both finished in 10.98 and both collected silvers — giving Jamaica the first sweep of medals in a women's 100 by any nation at any Olympics or world championships.

I would like to say that I am very proud of the Jamaican Team. You all went out there and did your best. Keep up the good work and continue to bring home the medals. We love you and are praying for you all. A great performance I must admit. Let us repeat this again. Respect to the trainers and others who put this Dream Team together. From a Jamaican Living in the USA and definately not ashamed of either.
