Track and Field.

The sprints are ours again as Jamaica's fluke period of dominance is over!

In reply to nitro

Jamaica dominated the sprints for an entire decade with several different athletes. That was hardly a fluke.

 
Jamstar 2019-01-27 16:33:22 

On the female side of things the dominate sprinters for the last year and half have been from the Ivory Coasthttps://www.iaaf.org/records/toplists/sprints/100-metres/outdoor/women/senior/2018?regionType=world&timing=electronic&windReading=regular&page=1&bestResultsOnly=true

It seems nitro is a part-time athletics fan...only follows the men's 100m.
big grin
Track and field also includes field events...Freddy Dacres dominated the men's shot putt last year, and he won the Diamond League in that event, convincingly beating every rival.

At Karlsruhe indoor meet yesterday....

Donald Thomas (Bah) came third in the men's high jump with a leap of 2.26.

Gayon Evans (Jca) sixth in her heat of the women's 60m in 7.40.

Shaquena Foote of Petersfield ran 52 plus without any challenge 3 weeks ago. Champs is still 6 weeks away so we can assume she is not yet fully prepared.
