If anything can go wrong it will. That should be Jamaica takeaway from Olympics 2024. It appears that Jamaica was not ready for Prime Time. Some of us saw that eventuality from the slow times and felt it from the lack of enthusiasm. The bickering between the JAAA and JOA contributed to the lack of preparation. While rebuilding “the Big 3”, it is time to do the same for the JAAA and JOA. Something is broken let’s fix it now.

Fans are disappointed that Shericka Jackson was unable to participate in Olympics 2024. From the beginning of the season it was obvious that Shericka Jackson was not FIT. Shericka Jackson inability to perform in the 100m, 200m, and the 4X100 Relay will change Hardware distribution and the aspirations of Team Mates, especially Tia Clayton.

This is tragic. With Elaine and Shericka out, and “Mommy Rocket” departing; rebuilding the Big 3 is more dire than envisioned. It’s the equivalent of saying “when trouble a come no shell no blow”. In other words, turn on the lights the party is over. However, it should be a temporary setback.

The Men’s 100m Final was a wonderful display of Acceleration and Velocity. Thank goodness Kishane Thompson and Noah Lyles ran the same time. It was Kishane Thompson race to lose. What Fans are still unsure of is why Thompson was unable to separate himself from the field. Did he tighten up because of pressure or was it something else. We know he is faster than Noah Lyles but he still has to prove it.  

Instructions about shutting down can confuse an Athlete. Athletes should Train and prepare to run THROUGH the Line and not run TO the Line in 100m races. This is why Fans prefer use of the Tape in 100m and 200m Races. If Tape was at the Finish Line there would be no dispute as to “who really won”. 100m Finals require Physical and Mental conditioning. Athletes should guard themselves from disappointment or the agony of defeat. Fans will accept Kishane Thompson not executing well.

The Philippines team is doing well in gymnastics, boxing, swimming, weight lifting, and Pole vault. There are many events in that mix to get multiple medals. EJ Obiena did not get the Gold medal this time but he will eventually. 

The events below were omitted from previous commentary regarding expectations at the Paris Olympic games of 2024. Even if it’s just a noteworthy mention the following events deserve attention.

RELAYS:

MEN’S 4X100:

This looks like an open and shut case for USA unless they drop the Baton. Fans expect Italy, Canada, and Great Britain to compete well. Fans do not see Jamaica offering much of a challenge but that’s why they run the races. USA will start with Christian Coleman and mix and match for Legs 2, 3, 4. Jamaica will start with Akeem Blake, Oblique Seville on second, and Kishane Thompson – on Anchor. The question is who runs third leg for Jamaica. Is it Bryan LeVelle? USA, Canada, and Italy should be the top 3.

WOMEN’S 4X100:

USA should win easily unless they drop the Baton. Fans expect Great Britain, and Netherlands to compete well. Fans do not see Jamaica offering much of a challenge. Canada and Italy could be factors. Top 3 should be USA, Great Britain, and Netherlands.

MEN’S 4X400:

USA should win easily unless they drop the Baton. Fans expect Great Britain, Botswana and Netherlands to compete well. Canada and Italy could be factors. Top 3 should be USA, Great Britain, and Netherlands. Top 3 should be USA, Great Britain, and Netherlands.

WOMEN’S 4X400:

USA should win easily unless they drop the Baton or falter. Fans expect Jamaica, and Netherlands to compete well. Top 3 should be USA, Netherlands, and Jamaica. Nickisha Pryce is a Factor and should Anchor. Fans believe she can beat Sydney McLaughlin – Levrone.

Stars know that getting home for Dinner quickly is the key to securing a Gold Medal. The Tail Gate Party continues.
