Jamaica Dominates Sprints At Olympics
posted (August 10, 2012)
The 2012 Olympic Games will end on Sunday night in London - and all this week, Jamaica has shone brightest. China and the USA may dominate the overall medal count, but Jamaica has the most medals per capita, and currently is behind only Russia in the overall medal count for athletics.

Male and Female sprinters from the island nation have medaled the high profile sprint events - and did what had only been done once before in Olympic history when it earned first, second and third place in the men's 200 meters.

It's a huge deal in that country where these successes have coincided with the country celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of its independence.

The final showcase for Jamaican speed is the men's four by 100 relay - which will air live on Channel 7 tomorrow at 2:00 pm.
