tosay alot of 10s
I still beleive that Bert Cameron run at the semi final in 1987 is the greatest run.... He pulled a quad muscle with 200 m to go and still qualified for the final.. on top of which it turns out he was diabetic for most of his career and not being aware of it...... and so is the performance of Kemari Roach Last week who pulled a Quad in the 4X100 and still handed the baton over first..
Lennox Miller is a hero of mine...and given that drugs were not tested then i will forever wonder....
i m not a fan of the Reggae Boys performance at the world cup... despie the qualification and boyds behaviour...

There's no doubt that Jamaicans have enjoyed great achievements in sports over the years. Nothing unites us more than when one of our athletes excels on the world stage. Here are 10 great moments in sports since we've been an independent nation.
1. Lennox Miller's silver medal in the 100m at the 1968 Olympics.
2. Bert Cameron's outstanding performance at the inaugural World Championships in 1983. He won 400m gold.
3. Jamaica's women 4x100m relay team's gold-medal performance at the 1991 Tokyo World Championships.
4. Merlene Ottey's world indoor record for the 200m, set in 1993. That record still stands today.
5. Jamaica's sweep of the men's 200m at the 2012 Olympics in London.
6. Jamaica's men and women sweeping the 200m and 400m events at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, in 2014.
7. Asafa Powell's 2005 world-record run of 9.77 seconds in the 100m in Athens.
8. Reggae Boyz's qualify for World Cup 1998.
9. Usain Bolt breaking the world record in the 100m and 200m events at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and, along with his teammates, breaking the world record in the 4x100m.
