Dina Asher Snith seemed fine what happened to that injury from the 100m tho? :lolbron:
She didn't pull up hurt. She actually said injury stopped her peaking but she felt stronger every race she ran...

I know, I was not saying otherwise but their whole golden generation is gone and now it's the desert. No medal in 100m, 200m and 4x100 :picard:
At least they got one in 110 hurdles but that's not really their specialty.
when you win back to back olympic golds with two different athletes it might as well be a specialty.

Cuba? They've won the same amount of Olympic golds as JA have. Cuba have no world golds tho. Robles and Gracia won Olympics but only Garcia won silver at the worlds. Ortega? He defected so to Cuba he dead.

Cuba historically have excelled at the jumping events. Especially the pit jumps.
JA won their 2 goals the past 2 games :stopitslime:Once again, JA success on this event is very recent is what I was saying otherwise JA has been known for 100m, 200m and 4x100m events. And that's not even counting the JA born athletes who ran track for Canada or the UK like Bailey, Christie or Johnson.
I mean look at the results by event : Jamaica at the Olympics - Wikipedia
There are some hurdles here and there but the bulk are those 3 and that is dating back from the 50s

Cuba got Olympic golds and held the record in 110 hurdles in the 70s and with Robles in the 2000s, that's why I thought of them as a historic nation. But I'll give you that. Compared to boxing or other fighting sports, it's not enough indeed:ehh:

If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
You guys have enough gold at this, let us some :mjcry:

And we still need to wash off that VC dunk on Weis :sadcam:

I fukk with France. In fact, I think most Americans do. There’s no America without France’s help during the revolution. With that being said… this is black America’s game. In the words of Al Davis, France must go down and they must go down hard.
