A quote from Simon Barnes of The Times Online"
"Bolt has lit up the Games and rekindled the world's joy in his sport and in the sad and discredited sprinting events. He has allowed us to find a real and simple delight in the sight of an extraordinary man performing extraordinary deeds. I long to see him run again, I long still more for his retirement. It can't come soon enough, to be frank. I really don't think I can bear the is-he-isn't-he tension that the rest of his career will involve. I don't want to be deprived of the memory of two of the greatest races I - and anyone else - has ever seen."
Little Jamaica finished 13th in the overall standings at the olympics, ahead of many larger and more populous countries. We should all be so very proud of these young people for showing the world how much of a strong and talented people we are. Jamaica, we have so much to be thankful for. Let's work on making things better at home because obviously we can achieve anything if we all pull together.
