Let the Bragging Rights begin!
Who is the World’s Fastest Nation: USA or Jamaica?
Jamaica had introduced the Fastest Nation Jamaica T-shirt
Let’s take a look at the 7 sprint events that require starting blocks. We are halfway through the Track and Field program and it’s a very tight race between these 2 sprint powerhouses based on medal count alone.
So far, USA is leading Jamaica 9-7 after 7 events. Of course, each country can only score one medal in the relays.
I can feel a great showdown between these two countries in the Men’s 4×100 meter relay.
| -USA- | Jamaica | |
|---|---|---|
| Men’s | ||
| 100m | 1 | 1 |
| 200m | 2 | 1 |
| 400m | - | - |
| 110mH | - | - |
| 400mH | 3 | 0 |
| 4x100m | - | - |
| 4x400m | - | - |
| Women’s | ||
| 100m | 0 | 3 |
| 200m | - | - |
| 400m | 1 | 1 |
| 100mH | 1 | 0 |
| 400mH | 1 | 1 |
| 4x100m | - | - |
| 4x400m | - | - |
| Total | 9 | 7 |
Well the USA drop the baton in both 4 x 100 and Veronica campbell won the 200.
Maybe they(USA) felt the pressure.
I think that JAMAICA is the world’s fastest nation . we in the caribbean don’t have to drug up to win a race ,having speed is natural to us , it is in our blood. so congrats to JAMAICA & MY COUNTRY TRINIDAD & TOBAGO for such a beautiful performance today…………………….!
Most of the world’s best in the 100 meters come from Jamaica, even if they might have left and gone to another country for a better life like Ben Johnson or Donavan Baily etc…. Jamaica was a breeding colony for the slave traders and the biggets fastest and strongest slaves were bred there.
A proud Jamaican…
