more or less.

-Attitude
-Discipline
-Dedication

People with less cant afford to slack so when it comes to this track and field shiet, The top performing Jamaicans make it a literal lifestyle.

American nikkas or most nikkas with more start ti slack or get lazy in some aspects/elements and the chips start to form.

Sha'carri was lazy and didnt take her shyt serious. the end.

Nutrition is apparently a factor too.

Jamaica doesn’t have better training resources than the US? Also, those intangibles you mentioned like attitude, discipline, etc dan be applied to any group, but if they don’t have the right genes, the shyt won’t matter

They take the sport seriously, plus they have an athletic foundation that supports its athletes.

We had a Jamaican runner at my uni, and he was serious about his craft. Folks were laughing. He was… :ufdup:

Its simply steroids more than likely,this was a nice fluff piece. But they are basically trying to say Jamaicans are just athletically superior to everyone else:comeon:
Then throwing in "Bu bu but they come from nothing". Well,that is based on perception,but nice try.

A Jamaican who lives in Jamaica is used to his environment and may feel no need to escape it ,even if its in poverty. Somebody in a hood in America could easily feel more deprived than a Jamaican in worst conditions. To say poor black Americans don't feel the same pressure of being broke as Jamaicans do is ridiculous. Your not going to convince anybody with sense that a poor kid in America may not see track as their best hope too when they excell at it.




If what these posters say is true,they would've just had great times off the rip. Not dramatically improved their previous times out the blue. Your program got that much better than Americas overnight it sounds like:sas2:. Thats a far cry from "the poverty made us great:mjcry:"..

Did you get poorer that year your time magically improved so greatly lol?

Not really, it actually started out by giving credit to their West African origins.

Its a scientific fact that West Africans have higher amount of fast-twitch muscles than everyone else.

Yes, West Africans are physically superior than everyone else.

Faster, grow muscle faster, age better, look better, etc etc
