American Lewis is the only other man to win two Olympic 100m gold medals, the second coming in 1988 when he was promoted from second place after the disqualification of Ben Johnson. He won the 200m in 1984 but managed only silver four years later. He did, however, have a remarkable run of success in the long jump, winning that event in four successive Games for a tally of nine golds in all. In the wake of Bolt’s triple-gold record success in Beijing Lewis was quick to point the finger of suspicion at him and Jamaica in general. “I think there are some issues,” he said at the time. “Countries like Jamaica do not have a random (drugs testing) program, so they can go months without being tested. I’m not saying anyone is on anything, but everyone needs to be on a level playing field. “I’m not saying they’ve done anything for certain. I don’t know. But how dare anybody […]

Brigitte Foster-Hylton Devastated by mishap in 100M Hurdles

by admin· August 06, 2012· in JO Articles, London 2012, News, Track and Field· 855 comments
On the fourth day of Track and Field events at the London 2012 Olympics, Jamaican hurdler Brigitte Foster-Hylton suffered a devastating turn of events, in the 100 metres hurdles.   Day three of the XXX Olympiad will be remembered as one of the best days in Olympic history, not only for Jamaica but also for the world of athletic sprinting. 100 metres sprint King Usain Bolt, dominated the event and proved unbeatable; he retained his title as not only the fastest man on earth, but also as the Olympic Champion at the 2012 London Olympics.   Day four, however, will be remembered as one of the lowest days for Jamaicans, as 100 metres hopeful Brigitte Foster-Hylton was impaired by a hurdle in heat six. Foster-Hylton did not make it through to the other qualifying rounds. Brigette was consoled by fellow hurdlers Lolo Jones of the United States, who was in her heat and Sally Pearson of Australia.   By: Poetess Denise Fyffe, The Island Journal, Kingston, Jamaica
