In reply to problemjay


you are turning the man's thread into " Trinis at the Olympics"

In reply to camos

in all fairness, it is an open board and everyone is free to post about the exploits of their countrymen/women. Its ok to track and post about the exploits of your countrymen from early, even in the preliminary rounds. You need to be mindful that some countries do not win medals until the final day when they get a relay bronze.

I sense the usual anti-Trini hate from the same Jamaican posters in here

I am going to post updates relating to the thread. Get over it

Alia messed up the start...

In reply to FanAttick

Last in the final in 1:08.10...pity.

Cameron Pimentel and Cecilia Wollmann of Bermuda, Stephanie Devaux-Lovell of St Lucia, Andrew Lewis of Trinidad, and Florence Allen of Cayman, did not advance in their sailing events. Cy Thompson (USVI) came fourth in his heat of the men's laser dinghy.

Shelley Pearson of Bermuda and Felice Chow of T&T finished 4th and 5th respectively in separate quarterfinals of single sculls, so they're out of the medal hunt but will compete in the C/D semifinals on Thursday.

In reply to Tryangle

Alia Atkinson looks promising .I Expect to see her in 2020 on the podium with a gold medal. She has the speed to make it happen.

In reply to mikesiva

Things busy from tomorrow

In reply to TheTrail

Sarcasm eh.

In reply to JahJah

You are such an obnoxious twerp; do you really know what “sarcasm” is?
Why is it when a non-Jamaican says anything about Jamaica, you take an offence even if it is good?
Dude you need to take an everlasting chill pill or better yet, grow up – stay away from the effing Computer- go on a month sabbatical and retool your mind of thinking.

Here is another one for yuh. Bolt is my #1 sprinter - I expect him to destroy all others next week.

I met him in person in T.O 2009 after one of our first Degree - we took a picture with him. He is really a gentleman never mind what other people may say...

BTW, I still maintain she is a very good swimmer in the making.

Hannibal Gaskin (Guy) clocked 58.57 in the men's 100m butterfly and did not advance.

Men's 50m freestyle

Jordan Augier (St Lucia) clocked 23.28 and did not advance.

George Bovell (TT) clocked 22.30 and did not advance.

In reply to TheTrail

What else could it have been since Alia is 27 facting years old (28 in December), and probably swimming in her last Olys?????

Unless you're just a plain dumbass!!!!

The top medal-winning countries per capita at the Olympics 2012

1) Grenada
2) Jamaica
3) Trinidad

In reply to JahJah

was wondering if he was talking about the younger girl, but I don't even know if she is at the Olympics.

In reply to mikesiva

Borel-Browne qualifies for the shot putt final

In reply to mikesiva

We had plenty of representatives in the pool this olympics. Hopefully we can see some medals from the next one

Still feeling it for Alia. First black woman in history to win a World swimming title and she faltered in what must be her last OLYs.

In reply to problemjay

At the Olympics, perhaps. Maybe not overall.

Barbadian Akela Jones is in fourth position after two events in the Heptathlon

In reply to JahJah

Yes overall he is a former World record Holder and Olympic medalist.

In reply to problemjay

Records are meant to be broken. Ask Asofta. But I'm sure the Caribbean has produced at least one World champion.

The feat of Words Records, World Champions medals and Olympic medal will beat the feat of a one time World Champion

In reply to problemjay

1 Olympic bronze and 2 World bronze (3)

vs

1 World Gold, 4 World Silver and 1 World bronze (6)


Ok then. Carry on.

But where did you get "the Caribbean region's most successful swimmer."

In reply to JahJah

and you left out his world record for your own convenience.

Ok then carry on

In reply to problemjay

Does he have a world record?

Asafa sure doesn't. I bet he wish he won a gold medal instead of that WC that Usain now has. Or even a silver. He does have a bronze though.

In reply to problemjay

From Wiki

They're on to you!!!

In reply to JahJah

Bolt has world records, I am sure you do not look down on them and will not when they are broken in the future. Get a hold of yourself.

In reply to problemjay

Bolt has GOLD medals!

Shelly-Ann has NO world records. Do you think she would trade in ALL those golds for a one-time record?

No one is looking down at records. I am simply stating that you don't seem to know what success really is.

In reply to JahJah

You stupid ass lmao

I said Blot has world records, now you gone off to gold medals.

So in the same context Bolt has Olympic gold medals, and the swimmer you desperately fighting for in this thread has NO Olympic gold medals. In fact no Olympic medals of any kind. So once again you have no point because you all over the place. Bovell in the same context has Olympic medals and the swimmer you fighting for has none

In reply to problemjay

Bolt has Olympic AND World GOLD medals. The fact is, he has WORLD level GOLD. Champion. Champion.

The swimmer I am talking about has been a WORLD facting champion.

Let that marinate...when you stop being stupid.

In reply to JahJah

Let that marinate in yuh fragile mind LMAO!

In reply to problemjay

*sigh*

is what we're debating. Not Olympics.

So, who is the Caribbean swimmer with the most success?

In reply to VIX

Cleopatra Borel (TT) threw 18.20 to qualify for the women's shot putt final. However, Danielle Thomas (Jam) threw 16.99, and did not make it.

Frederick Dacres (Jam) threw a disappointing 50.69 in the men's discus, and did not qualify for the final.

In reply to mikesiva

I expected Cleo to make Shot put final, she is top 8 in the world for several years. The challenge will be for her to medal

In reply to problemjay

"Ethiopia's Almaz Ayana smashed the world record by over 14 seconds to win Olympic gold in the women's 10,000m in Rio. The 24-year-old, racing the distance on the track for only the second time, obliterated the field to finish in 29 minutes 17.45 seconds."

Amazing!

In reply to mikesiva

I saw that and yeah that was amazing. But not sure if the thread is about Windians at Olympics or we including African athletes too?

In reply to problemjay

Only when they break world records....

The women's heptathlon after the hurdles and the high jump:

Thanks for your information , both Joachim & Sylvester , are in their early teens . They went to understand
what is required in the Olympics .

Two things that I like about the 1OC ,
first top Athletes etc from Countries
are invited , and the fact that Refugees can also participate , in my
opinion is also very commendable .

In reply to POINT

I must admit, I enjoy the Olympics so much more than the sport of cricket, which is now dominated by the BCCI....

No TT athletes in the men's semi finals

In reply to Jabari18

Didn't expect much from them really..concentrate on Cedenio,Gordon,Ahye and Walcott for finals hopes..

In reply to Jabari18

That was expected. If you have been following the 100m all year then you would not have been surprised.

In reply to problemjay

I know we weren't in good form. I was just hopeful.

Fisher is also Jamaican, representing Bahrain, know his parents very well!

Ahye had a poor start and still managed to be in front. She would have easily won that semi final with a better start

Shelly Ann ready fe defend her title..Shelly, Schipers, Talou

In reply to rudebway

Thompson, SAFP, Ahye

In reply to archangel

i was posting the order of the finisher in that particular heat that Shelly won, not making a prediction... but since we have transitioned to predictions, Thompson, Shelly Ann, Gardner.

In reply to rudebway

Shelly is hurt

Damar Forbes, 12th in the long jump

In reply to problemjay

Really now. So is what 'ifs' she did need for di final?

In reply to JahJah

You mad?

The final is different race from the semis small man. But like I said before if she had a better start in the semis her race would have been better.

The Sprint Factory remains strong. Succession plan now being executed!

In reply to problemjay

Sounds like is you did mad. Stark-ravingly so.

In reply to bimbo

What a women's 100m final!

Seven women ran under 11 seconds, but it was Jamaica's Elaine Thompson who took the title with 10.72, well ahead of second-placed Tori Bowie of the United States (10.83). Thompson's compatriot, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce took the bronze in 10.86, just ahead of Ivorian MJ Ta Lou, who clocked the same time.

Damar Forbes jumped 7.82 for 12th in the men's long jump.

In the men's 400m semis, Grenadians Kirani James (44.02) and Bralon Taplin (44.44) advanced to the final, along with Trinidad's Machel Cedenio (44.39).

Akela Jones (Bdos) had a poor 800m to fall down to 20th place in the heptathlon final standings, with 6173 points.

In reply to mikesiva

Can Grenada produce gold on the 4x4?

Grenada a country of its very small size has put TWO 400m sprinters in an Olympic final tonight. Hmmm dey good

In reply to bimbo

Does Grenada have enough quarter-milers to put out a quartet?

The Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt notched up his seventh Olympic gold medal, winning the men's 100m in 9.81, coming ahead of American Justin Gatlin (9.89) and Canada's Andre De Grasse (9.91), with another Jamaican, Yohan Blake, fourth in 9.93, in front of a packed stadium.

South African Wade van Niekerk blitzed the men's 400m, winning in a world record time of 43.03. Kirani James of Grenada was second in 43.76, Lashawn Merritt of the US third in 43.85, and Trinidad's Machel Cedenio fourth in 44.01.

Kimberley Williams (Jam) came seventh in the final of the women's triple jump with a leap of 14.53.

Advancing to the final of the women's 400m were Steph MacPherson (Jam) 50.69, Shericka Jackson (Jam) 49.83, and Shauna Miller (Bah) 49.91. Christine Day (Jam) clocked 51.53 for fourth in her semi, and did not advance.

Bahamians Donald Thomas and Trevor Barry cleared 2.29 in the men's high jump qualification, and both will advance to the final.

In reply to bimbo

In reply to problemjay

Yu might want to rethink that stance.

In reply to JahJah

Jah Jah you trying to disrespect me small man?

We not talking about your country Jamaica here. Trinis do not investigate every athlete to find out where there parents or grandparents come from and try claim them afterwards

In reply to problemjay

Excuse me? You're playing with fire here. Jamaicans are the last ones who would need to do that as far as thing here goes! You countrymen better come get you before ah drop di hamma!

In reply to JahJah

Let us start with your reggae boyz football team. Take time to absorb that.. Ah know half of Jamaica looking at every black player in Europe to find out if his great grand father come from Jamaica so allyuh can claim him and put him on the team.

Keep in mind I say this is the normal for Jamaicans, not something common for Trinis, (a very few does to make it the norm) if anything we get criticised for not being open enough to more potential athletes with Trini roots. But I like it this way, I rather an athlete show desire to rep us than we hunt him down in yardie style

In reply to problemjay

Thanks for going there. I said when it comes to this thing here meaning OLYs and you gone to football where neither team is any good.

Let's stick to T&F where only ONE of the countries is any good...and that country is a WORLD BEATER. We ah win Gold medal since di 19forkinFAWTEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And we didn't need no rasshole 3rd generation Yardie to do so. So what's good? Talk nuh!

Open you mouth again, meek mi box it shut!!

PS: Not too long ago, Trinis went on some far fetched Abdul Jabbar expedition to call he a Trini. DWL. And yu have mouth for Yardies?

In reply to JahJah

Where are we on the medal table now?

In reply to JahJah

Never mind. 24th. Was hoping we could make top 10 like our neighbour and friend.

Someone help our yardie mascot Jah Jah clearly he has lost his sanity in this place. He all over the place with his emotional self

Young Sydney is one for the future...

Or like the Jamaican diver, Yona Knight-Wisdom, who came 11th in the 3m springboard preliminaries, and advances to today's semis....

In today's semis:

Yona finishes 14th with 381.40 & just misses out of a final spot.

Women's 400m final

1) Shaunae Miller (Bah) 49.44
2) Allyson Felix (US) 49.51

In the women's discus qualifying, Jamaicans Tarasue Barnett (58.09), Shadae Lawrence (57.09), and Kellion Knibb (NM) failed to advance.

The rain played havoc with the 110m hurdles, with the first two heats being severely disrupted by torrential rain. As a result, Jamaican Deuce Carter, who crashed out in the second heat, was one of eight hurdlers given the chance to run another race, and he took his second chance clock a time that saw him advance to the semi-finals.

Among those advancing to the semis were Jamaicans Omar McLeod (13.27), Deuce Carter (13.51) and Andrew Riley (13.52), but those going out were Mikel Thomas (TT) 13.68, Eddie Lovett (USVI) 13.77, and Ronald Forbes (Cay) 14.67.

In reply to bimbo

I like Ivory Coast

In reply to bimbo

Schipers will be tough to beat. Elaine didnt win her semi so it depends on the lane she gets. If she gets 2 or 1 that will be very tight, and i dont think she is particularly good on the curve. It will be a dog fight her Schipers , Elaine and Bowie.

Hush pal, i don't think using Cuba will work to get at Jamaicans. We are brothers...Fidel and Joshua!

In fact they have helped us tremendously for decades.

In reply to problemjay

Yo relax nah,,you cannot trivialize Ja's T&F accomplishment and subsequent national pride,you should view them as victories for the whole Caribbean by extension....we should therefore use their performances and others like Kirani etc as impetus for our own improvement because essentially what it means is we are all capable of greatness despite our limitations. The world can learn a lot from Jamaica,it hasn't been easy being a Jamaican for the last 10 years or so and the fact that they continue to excel is a testament to their grit and determination and greatness as a people,Caribbean people.

Stop shitting on your doorstep..you would walk in it.

In reply to bravos

Seem like you begging in here for them with that bolded comment

Let us face the reality, only in these internet corners you see people wanting to apply the Caribbean tag to their own nation success. I do not care who wins what, but don't tell the Caribbean to jump on your bandwagon.

You know damn well no one in Trinidad is walking around saying 'I am Caribbean' and want any country, including a Caribbean one to succeed more than their own country. People in here do not want to face the reality. Do not beg for others to jump on your bandwagon, the reality is people will not.

In reply to problemjay

It jus not sounding right ok...you can't criticize greatness..and you shouldn't let disagreement with some Jamaicans make you subject yourself for general ridicule..

I am only getting involved in this because you say you're a Trini and it don't look good coming from a Trini...that's all..small ting..

In reply to bravos

Where I am criticising greatness? Now I want you to take your time and read my comments again, and then absorb it, then re-absorb it.

In reply to problemjay

Well if you say so,well you shouldn't criticize National enthusiasm and pride..the US don't need Caribbean cheerleaders in Olympics,especially right now when we have so many good Caribbean competitors directly competing in their marquee events.

We should blindly support all Caribbean entries....

In reply to bravos

I will repeat the previous comment for you. And no why should we blindly just support all Caribbean entries? You want to do tingz blindly because you must be a follower. You don't even know know the name of one Puerto Rican athlete, but you talking about support all Caribbean entries. YOU speak for yourself.
