OLYMPIC COMMITTEE LEADER CRITICIZES BOLT

August 22, 2008
Today the International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Jacques Rogge had stiff criticism for Jamaican record breaking sprinter Usain Bolt.
According to the Associated Press the former Olympic yachtsman who hails from Belgium told a small group of reporters that he did not consider Bolt’s "doing a show" following his historic win as being respectful of the other competitors in his race.
The elated and proud Bolt danced, did his victory run around the field draped in the Jamaican flag, beat his chest in glee and even declared that he was number one – using finger gestures in a television close-up; however Rogge felt that somehow Bolt was not entitled to express himself as his personality and possibly as his culture dictated.

Rogge told three international reporters that Bolt should have acknowledged the others who raced with him by even giving them a tap on the shoulder immediately after finishing first, rather than showing his joy and pride in the way he did,

JOY AND DISAPPOINTMENT FOR JAMAICAN ATHLETES IN BEIJING

August 22, 2008
Jamaica won the 4 by 100 relay in world record time of 37.10 seconds today at the Beijing Olympics, sending a clear message that the land of wood and water is not to be underestimated.

The fast and furious team broke the world mark of 37.40 set in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics by the US team that was equalled by another US squad at the world championships in Stuttgart in 1993.

Nesta Carter was the first man with the baton that he passed to Michael Frater; then it was Frater to the indomitable Usain Bolt who went on to hand the baton to Asafa Powell who breezed on to the finish line in record breaking time.

Bringing home another gold medal for Jamaica, the relay team conquered all odds. Top sprinter Asafa Powell got the opportunity to finally land himself a gold medal for the first time on an international platform. The gold had been eluding Powell and this was his chance to redeem himself.

AFTER TWO WINS, RUMORS FLYS ON BOLT ON DRUGS

August 22, 2008
After Jamaica newest sensation Usain Bolt dominate the field and broke two world record people are still fighting him out. I guess it’s too good to be true. As the Jamaican proverbs goes…whom god bless no man curse! Jam rock is blessed with talents. People should realize that! Why them nuh want to see Jamaicans prosper? They have been spreading drugs rumors on Bolt saying that he’s on drugs, that’s why he’s running so fast…because he never use to be so fast.

This is disgusting to know that people are always fighting Jamaican’s; no matter what they say or do we stand firmed.

NEW WORLD RECORD 9.69

As Jamaica’s track hero reaches the age of 22, he basks in the glory of his ongoing success at the Beijing Olympics where his record breaking runs have made him the focus of every sports arena on the planet. Bolt told reporters in Beijing recently that he will be ‘just chilling’ on his birthday, but somehow many feel that he will find a few moments to rock and groove to his favorite reggae tunes.

After his winning runs, Bolt has been showing his elation by doing a few of Jamaica’s popular dance moves and he is about to be the inspiration behind a brand new dance to be called none other than – "THE USAIN BOLT."

American wins "Dance Hall Queen"

August 01, 2008
The 11th winner of the annual "Dance Hall Queen" contest, held at the Pier One Complex, Montego Bay, holds the distinction of being the first American to win the competition.

Twenty three year old Michelle Young of Boston, USA, ecstatically proclaimed that she has never been so happy in her life. "I am going to cherish this moment for the rest of my life... I am on top of the world"

One other awardee, for Best Costume, was the crowd favourite, Tavia Morris, who initially, seemed to have been upstaging Young with her athletic movements. However, when the winner was announced the patrons applauded their approval.

The patrons were treated to an evening of top class entertainment; classic music from Pure Playazz Sound System, guest dancers and a fashion show featuring the latest designs from Big Head Clothing Store.

Jerry D hosted the give away section of the evening, where patrons had the chance to win sex toys, adult videos, condoms, a Blackberry phone and a component set.
