respond to carl Lewis article

What Carl and the rest of the world dont understand is that Jamaicans start training for the Olympics from kindergarten/nursery school. We have inter-school, parish and other sporting championships for athletics, football, netball and all the sports we enter at the Olympics from age 6. Likewise for education we have Schools Challenge for High Schools similar to the UK's university challenge. I live in the UK and the schools here dont have any programme for runners from an early age (as a matter of fact from any age). There is no national sporting competitions for schools to take part in to recognise these talents from an early age. ;Jamaica is the size/population of London (just a dot on the Globe) and we have always been a popular country long before Bolt because of our ever striving countrymen

baman mentality

I always say that the badman mentallity and the wicked minded people in jamaica is crumbling the little country to dust.We are representing our country and exposing our culture to the world in athletics, music, food, and our lovely beaches, but does anyone see that all of this will soon be taken away from us, just like the bauxites ( and tourism, which will soon be dying also). Who wants to visit a country that loses 13 residents over one weekend through violence. We better wake up, Jamaica is eroding, and this is not a jokeI'm just tired of the wanton killing,and nobody seems to know what to do
