Jamaicans and braces

Now if we could just get some braces on Shawn Johnson the world would be a perfect place...

Y is it that these Americans are so damn bad minded.

Can't you guys just deal with it that Jamaica is better than you in athletics. Before the playing field was not leveled last Olympics and before because of the Americans and there drug offenses or should I say abuses.

No it level and you cannot deal with it.

All I have to say to you Americans get over it.

Stop the bad mind thing that why where sports is concerned America will not prevail.

Next thing the "glare from the braces" did not affect them and cause them to drop no baton and why is it that no other countries are complaining like the US.

LOOK ON IT THIS WAY

AMERICA NUH GOOD AGAIN WITH OUT DRUG ENHANCEMENTS.

Damn Bad Mind.

Obviously you are not including the 2 sweeps in the 400m & 400mH... and at least the mid-distance runners are in the mix (despite all the juvenile moaning & groaning on this board about distance success). Dual meet! US comes out WAY ahead.

I can't be bothered to do a medal comparison, as I really don't care. I just like to watch track & field. If someone else has time to list all medalists from 100m - 400mH, and we will include relays later. (aside - I'm thinking if the US was allowed a 'B' team in the 4X400 they would get at least bronze if not silver)

This is totally hilarious! Hey guys sports is more about fun and competition than getting at each other. What's the problem if the Jamaicans have a good year this year? Isn't it a bit childish and petty to go at them for wearing braces. Please. When the US athletes do well, who is complaining, we just lick our wounds and say next time. Maybe y'all should try that this year. Let's just congratulate each others' athletes on their hard work and success where relevant.

I wish the relay teams hadn't dropped out though cause here I was all ready for a showdown of showdowns! Oh well next time.

You are not fooling me! First off I observed a massive eletomagnetic device hidden in the shoot just off the track....facing down the home stretch! This device NO DOUBT if acivated would cause a magnetic draw pulling all metal down the homestretch ...and would be invisible to all spectators! Thus braces are METAL! So your sprinters are getting pulled down the track thru their braces! And #2 where did VOODOO orginate at! No doubt you have people sticking needles in little dolls of Tyson Gay! So whats up! Aint fooling me!

Well with all that electomagnetic device pulling jamaican athletes down the track how come the americans wasn't leading the field with their asses out front

As far as I remember Sherone Simpson also wore dental braces when she stormed onto the scene...

That's right. Brigitte Foster-Hylton used to wear one a couple of years ago too. Brigitte, Sherone, Shelly-Ann Fraser and Melaine Walker are all from the same training group (MVP).

Only one percent of the adult population wears braces for genuine cosmetic reasons. So the likelihood that four women from the same training group just so happen to all need braces at the same time? One in 100,000,000!

PLEASE, WADA, take a trip out to Jamaica during the winter months - preferably around the time when the Jamaicans are getting their braces fitted.

When Carl Lewis, Butch Reynolds, Leroy Burrell, Torri Edwards, et al sported braces, it raised all kinds of eyebrows. Any reason the Jamaicans should be exempt from the same skepticism?

These comments take me back. It looks like the Jamaican team was dirty at the 2008 Olympics , many tested just under the limit for clenbuterol but IOC cleaned it up. This was leaked in 2018. Bolt and Phelps made these Olympics, I don’t think anybody could handle another sprinting scandal or track and field scandal in general after BJ 1988 , Tim Montogomerey 2000s Marion Jones 2000, and Justin Gatlin 2004.
