Jamaica is having a " hell of a games"
Its a shame that Track is on the decline in America.
where are the major meets in the US?
Apart from the Penn Relays there is no major Track Meet on the East Cost and TV gives it little or NO coverage.
These are a new group of Jamaican track stars.
They have replaced the likes Merlene Ottey and and that crew. Its obvious that they are doing some thing right to be developing all of that new young talent.
where is our new talent?
Is is that Track has become "Too Black?
where are the sponsors?
where is the TV coverage of the major participants?
The Track Stars are geting little or no coverage on NBC compared to the Swimmers and the Gymnists.
Is a shame .
They deserve better than that.
