I'm Jamaican. We weren''t even in this race, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. I loved watching the mental strength of the Bahamian athlete who ran his race despite seeing someone else in front of him. He did not panic in the face of only possible (not certain) defeat, and so he prevailed for his team. It was a joy to watch, and I take great inspiration from it. I will not give up on any cause before it really is over. Hopefully, at that time, at the end, I will be collecting the green leaves, just as this team has done.

You can say that again. Americans will put this psychological sentiment that winning at every sport is their royal birthright. When another is superior than them at a single sport, like Jamaica's sprinting dominance for example, Americans will make it seem that their failure to win is a problem and they'll spill it across the media so that everyone knows it.

College 400m runner here: Because of momentum it's easier to run a sub 45 by running the first 200 faster than the second. None of them ran 11 sec 100s all the way through, rather that the speed of the first 200 made up for their second 200.

What a great race, no matter who your country is, truly great to watch.
