Jamaica is On a Mission, and this is what Alia Atkinson and other Jamaican Olympic Athletes are out to prove, at the London 2012 Olympics. July 29, 2012 will be a day that will never be forgotten by Alia. She performed at a very high level to prove that she deserves a spot in the 100 metres breaststroke final, when the odds were against her. July 29, 2012 will be a day that Jamaicans remember as the first day that they really felt the overwhelming 2012 Olympic pride for our athletes in London. Alia Atkinson won her 100 metres breaststroke heat and took the lead for the most part in her semi-final race. In the final lap of this event, she fell behind to tie for fourth position with the competitor from Canada, Tera Van Beilen. One would believe that Atkinson would be tired and struggle in her swim off; that was not the case. Alia rallied and from the moment she hit the water she lead the race. She ended up swimming the fifth fastest time to make the 100 metres breaststroke final. Alia will be swimming from lane eight; nonetheless, this is not seen as a disadvantage as […]

Olympic champion Usain Bolt has said he will be “ready to go” at the Olympic Games after recovering from a stiff back and hamstring problems. Fitness concerns have dogged the 25-year-old’s build-up to the Games where he will be defending his 100 metres and 200m titles. Bolt, who will carry the Jamaican flag at tomorrow’s opening ceremony, said: “I have been training great over the past two-and-a-half weeks so everything is coming together. “I had slight problems but nothing too serious. I am ready to go.” In June, Bolt was surprised in the 100m final at the Jamaican National Championships and Olympic trials when he was beaten by world champion and his training partner Yohan Blake. Blake ran 9.75 seconds, it was the fastest 100 metres in the world this year. Bolt was second in in 9.86 seconds. Just 48 hours later, Bolt suffered his second loss Yohan Blake in the 200m final. Blake crossed the line in 19.80 seconds, 0.03secs ahead of the world record holder. But now the champion has said he is ready to compete in the 100m, and achieve his aim “to become a legend”, they aren’t many who would bet again […]

London – Defending double sprint champion Usain Bolt will be Jamaica’s flag bearer at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics, an official said Thursday. “I am delighted to announce Mr Usain Bolt as our flag bearer,” said Mike Fennell, president of the Jamaica Olympic Association. The 25-year-old Bolt, one of global sport’s most marketable personalities, transformed the world of athletics when he scorched to victory in both sprint events at the Beijing Games in 2008 in then-world record times. Bolt bettered his Olympic form at the 2009 Berlin worlds, setting current world records in the 100 and 200m of 9.58 and 19.19sec. He defended his world 200m title in Daegu last year but a false start in the final saw compatriot Yohan Blake claim victory in the 100m.
