Already a haul of five(5) medals , Jamaica is on its way to achieving its best medal haul in Olympic history. Leading the way is the Gold medal success of both Usain 'lightening 'Bolt and Shelly-Ann 'Smiley' Fraser. In what has been dubbed the "Awesome Threesome", the clean sweep success of the women in the 100m women is one of the most historic and proudest moments already recorded by Jamaica so far. With all the rave however, we cannot forget that we have again been heartbroken. The disappointing performances of Dorian Scott and Asafa Powell cannot be ignored. So heartbreaking has been Asafa's performance, Jamaican's have been busy celebrating the 6th place finish of Michael Frater who ran a personal Best while going below ten(10) seconds for the first time in his career. Once again people have concluded that as opposed to national pride, Asafa has failed us once by denying us the right as Jamaican to celebrate our greatness as a nation. His psychological strength or lack there-of has caused many including myself to question whether or not this guy is truly one of us(Jamaicans), ha ha ha. Ok. Asafa u WIN!!, we will put some money at the end of the next major championship so u can show us some heart. As for Scott, its not that bad a disappointment, but many including myself were expecting more after his noteworthy performances this season on the circuit. But with all the effort of Powell, it will do little to dent our feelings of elation after the way Shericka Williams came from deep to crush Sanya Richards to Third place in the women's 400m and the way the Awesome Threesome created history in putting Jamaica in the history books as the first nation to win the 100m in both male and female sections and looking to sweep the sprint double, big up ' Jam Dung'
