400 metres male – poor showing

Although Jamaica has been doing exceptionally well in the sprints, the 400 metres final will be without a Jamaican. For the past 4-5 years the standard of our quarter milers have been just average.

We pray for someone to consistently run sub 45. What has caused this decline? and who are the brightest prospects now?

    I believe the Men will go back to the drawing board improve on their strategies, look into what the other competitors do and probably learn from there and then come back new time and give it their best.

    I still believe they r getting there though , just with time.

    IF AND WHEN WE USE OUR BEST ATHLETES TO INSPIRT THOSE 16 YEARS OLD WITH THE NATURAL PHYSICAL ABILITY FOR ATHLETICS, WHO SEEK THE ELUCIVE DREAM OF N.B.A FAME AND FORTUNE TO PERSUIT INSTEAD TRACK AND FIELD, OUR PRESENT SUCCESS WILL BE DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN.
    SEND BOLT, THOMPSON, WALKER AND THE OTHER CARIBBEAN STARS ON A MOTIVATIONAL TOUR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO ALL THE ISLANDS.
    THIS WILL ALSO WORK WELL FOR OUR CRICKET FUTURE.
