There are a handful of days in Sporting history that become legendary, when one is cherished to say I was there... Listen to the  response from the IAAF, Kerron Stewart, Lauren Williams among others.

What a night to be Jamaican... Just wearing a yellow and green shirt and speaking with a funny accent made you an instant celebrity. We were giving photo opportunities to sports fans of all nationalities. Media from all over the world were asking for interviews with anyone remotely jamaican :
- Are you a friend of Usain Bolt?
- Do you live in the same city?
- Do you know the Prime Minister of Jamaica?
- Are you someone famous?

In the midst of the national euphoria, spare a thought for our other hero, Asafa Powell. Never was the Joy of victory and the agony of defeat more in evidence than the equally dramatic inability of Asafa to perform once again at the highest level. It is testimony to how endeared Asafa is to Jamaican sport fans that in the midst of what was one of the signature moments in Jamaican sporting history much of the celebration in the stadium was muted by his disapapointing performance. Asafa, has for the past 3 years been the sporting icon that put Jamaican sprinting back on the map and moved the art of sprinting to another level. We look forward to the 4x100m relay when he will achieve his 1st Olympic gold as part of a world-record breaking sprint team. In the light of what has already happened in Beijing, why not indeed..
