New Nation: "When it comes to sprinting, no one does it better than the Jamaicans. From Arthur Wint winning Olympic gold back in 1948 to Usain Bolt’s new 100m world record in May, the Caribbean island’s tradition of producing world class athletes is at an all-time high.
The JA Hall of Fame reads like a Who’s Who of Track and Field – Wint, Herbert McKenley, Lennox Miller, Donald Quarrie, George Rhoden, Merlene Ottey, Veronica Campbell-Brown.
Next month in Beijing, the class of 2008 will be eyeing their own place in history. For the likes of Bolt, Asafa Powell, Michael Frater, Maurice Smith and Kerron Stewart, the time is now."
