IONA WYNTER – A FEMALE JAMAICAN SPORTS HERO

by admin· February 13, 2016· in Jamaica Olympics, Jamaican Athletes, Team Jamaica· 0 comments
    It is not easy for someone to go on such a difficult journey, to represent their country. It is often a lonely road that takes tremendous sacrifice, dedication, hard physical work and effort, and at a great expense to family and supporters. I think we need to recognize those that have taken the journey, and qualified to represent Jamaica. They are Olympians! We had Andrew Phillips in Swimming, We had Iona Wynter in Triathlon and a few more. I think they all are worthy of public recognition by our government.   My Hero is Iona Wynter.   Iona represented Jamaica in the triathlon at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. Drawn to the team atmosphere of cycling, Iona committed to full-time racing in 2006. She won the Central American and Caribbean Road Race Championships in 2002 and in 2006 became the Scratch Race Champion in the same Games. She has competed in the Pan American Games and the Commonwealth Games on the road and the track     She went on to represent Jamaica in multiple World Cup events, World Championships, and major Tours. Riding with Team Colavita, Iona achieved numerous top 10 finishes and helped her teammates […]

Jamaican Daniel Mayhew makes history at Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer 2016

by admin· February 13, 2016· in Bobsled, Bobsleigh, Jamaica Monobob, Jamaica Olympics, Jamaican Athletes, Monobob, News, Team Jamaica, Winter Olympics· 0 comments
    Jamaican Daniel Mayhew will be the first bobsledder to represent Jamaica next week at the Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer. It is remarkable that for the first time sitting in a sleigh, the 17-year-old Mayhew less than a year ago. Daniel joins the monobobs that was specially designed for Lillehammer in 2016.     Since his first run Mayhew has trained in Switzerland, Austria and Norway, where he also participated in the qualifiers. At the moment he is 22nd in the rankings and that was enough to be allowed to compete in Lillehammer. “I can go to the Youth Olympic Games is unbelievable,” he told the Jamaica Gleaner. “It was such an overwhelming feeling when I knew I was posted after my last run in qualifying.”       Bobsleigh and Jamaica is of course synonymous with “Sanka, ya dead? Ya mon”, but Mayhew is not going to join for fun only on the Norwegian ice. “I hope for a medal, maybe even gold,” said the ambitious bobsledder, from the same village as the former world record holder in the 100 meter sprint Asafa Powell. “I have the potential to do it, I just have to listen to […]

Usain Bolt coaches young sprinter in new Telkom commercial

by admin· February 10, 2016· in Jamaica, Jamaica Olympics, Jamaican Athletes, PUMA, Rio 2016, Team Jamaica, Track and Field, Usain Bolt· 0 comments
    Usain Bolt plays coaching to young sprinter in a commercial published Tuesday Feb 9, 2016. The six-time Olympic champion sprinter acted in a one-minute spot for the South African telecommunications company Telkom. In true Bolt style, even the filming of the TV commercial had to be done at high pace. The athlete’s preparations ahead of this year’s Olympic Games remain his primary focus, and filming had to be carefully structured around his punishing training schedule. Filming took place in Bolt’s home base of Kingston, Jamaica, and the team, led by Telkom’s agency DDB, was given just three hours to complete the shoot. Bolt’s management worked closely with Telkom and DDB to ensure the developed concept would resonate with the superstar athlete. The storyline, which sees Bolt training and developing a young athlete, certainly achieved this. Telkom used cinema-style technology to produce the advert – which features a toddler track star in training – while keeping a realistic look and feel. As children have proportionately bigger heads, feet, hands and knees compared to adults, fat suit technology was used to allow an adult athlete to be filmed in the sporting sequences. This allowed seamless filming while maintaining the correct […]
