Triple Gold medalists from the last IAAF World Championships, Usain Bolt and Double Olympic Sprint Champion Elaine Thompson head the 56-member contingent named by the Jamaica Administrative Athletics Association (JAAA) to represent Jamaica at the 16th edition of the IAAF World Championship to be staged in London, England from August 4-13. Most of the team would have already ‘selected’ themselves by virtue of performances at the Jamaica ‘Trials’ or as wildcards. There were no real surprise selections or omissions. Team Jamaica will be represented in 12 events by the women while the Jamaican men will showcase the Black, Green and Gold across a similar number of disciplines. Jamaica has wild-card entries in the 100m Hurdles, 100m for women and men and the women’s 400m. Team Jamaica will be aiming to match or overhaul the 12 medals won at the 2015 Beijing World Championships or perhaps even surpass the record of 13 medals mined at the 2009 Berlin World Championships. The members of the men’s team which includes 13 debutants are: Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake, Julian Forte, Senoj-Jay Givans, Michael Campbell, Tyquendo Tracey, Rasheed Dwyer, Warren Weir, Omar McLeod, Ronald Levy, Hansle Parchment, O’Dayne Richards, Kemoy Campbell, Damar […]

The Calabar standout De’Jour Russell of Jamaica took his personal best from 13.31 (already a world-U18-leading time this year) all the way to 13.08. The time made him the second fastest U18 athlete of all time, behind his compatriot Jaheel Hyde’s world U18 best of 12.96. Russell’s time was all the more amazing given his slow reaction time of 0.221 and the fact he slowed down before the finish. With the semifinal and final scheduled for tomorrow, there may be much more to come from the Jamaican who recently clocked a world age-17 best of 13.32 over the senior height barriers. None of the other hurdlers came near Russell’s performance, but there were other notable runs, including the remaining heat winners: Enrique Llopis of Spain with 13.47 (a personal best by 0.25), Lu Hao-hua of Chinese Taipei with 13.57 and Saoud Al-Humaidi of Qatar with 13.72. The early exit of Zayed Al Shamsi of the United Arab Emirates was also notable. The third fastest U18 athlete this year with 13.43 finished only sixth in his heat in 14.70 and was eliminated.
