Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Jamaica’s much-decorated “Pocket Rocket”, loves relays. After all, in addition to being the world and Olympic champion at 100m, the diminutive sprinter was the anchor of Jamaica’s championship-record-setting 4x100m relay team in Moscow, the second-fastest of all time at 41.29. She also led off Jamaica’s silver medal team in London, bested there only by USA’s 40.82 world record run. Fraser-Pryce will be carrying the baton twice for Jamaica in Nassau, entered in both the 4x100m and 4x200m pools. With 24 countries entering teams – from Jamaica’s Rocket-powered 4x100m to Bahrain’s 4x1500m team featuring Maryam Yusuf Jamal – every women’s race list includes global champions. And for every team with a world or Olympic champion, there is another quartet hoping to gain just enough ground on the other three legs to overcome that advantage. [hr] Watch IAAF World Relays LIVE Stream Women’s 4x100M The USA holds the world record of 40.82 in this event, set in London at the 2012 Olympics, but the clear favourites in Nassau will be world champions Jamaica. While the USA only have one member of their world-record-setting team from London, Jamaica has all four of the world championship-winning team from Moscow […]

[hr] Dear Issa, You did it again and I do not mean that as a compliment. Somehow there are no tickets available for Champs. Somehow they were all sold out. Die hard track and field fans are left in a tizzy. We’ve seen this before where the tickets magically reappear on Friday afternoon and Saturday all day at rather inflated prices. There were quite a few empty seats in the grand stand on that fateful Saturday. This was a sight to behold as I’ve never seen it before and I never knew it was possible certainly not at Champs. [hr] 2014 ISSA Boys & Girls Champs Schedule [hr] I was hoping to remind you all that this Championship is about the athletes and the fans. It is not about the 6 or so entrepreneurs who happened to get their hands on in excess of 1,000 tickets each. In that same year, when the tickets magically reappeared and were being sold for as much as $10,000 for the Saturday show many gave in and bought it. It’s been over 2 years so if we factor in the fixed and variable factors then someone should expect to pay in excess of $15,000. […]
