KINGSTON, Jamaica — Asafa Powell, the Jamaican athlete who pulled up with an acute groin injury in the final of the men's 100m on Sunday, has added his voice to the swirling debate about taking to the track despite carrying an injury.

The debate took on added steam after 400m runner Jermaine Gonzales pulled up on the third leg in the mile relay heats this morning. Powell himself has been carrying a groin injury for about five years.

Gonzales had told reporters that he was not in good shape and did not want to compete in the relay to avoid blighting the chances of his teammates, he was however selected to run by the team managers and failed miserably.

&quot;I competed in the men's 100m finals because it was an individual event, and an opportunity to represent my country and my fans,&quot; a message on the athlete Facebook page said.

&quot;The 4x100m relay is a joint and collective cohesive effort. I will not 'selfishly' stand in the way of Team Jamaica going out on the track &amp; field with four able healthy bodies and cease a gold medal victory for our country,&quot; the message from the athlete said.

The Facebook post from Asafa said he would continue to cheer the team on &quot;because united we stand and divided we fall.&quot;

Re: Jamaica Olympics Central

Bolt gives the world joy..

Weir gives me pride!!

I like the Beast that Blake does... He has a glint of laughter in his eye....

The thing that I like that Bolt does is he made that posturing snaring attitude of the Greens and the Boltons and even of Johnson seem childish. He took sport to what he was suppose to be filled with joy.

Bolt walks on the field is playful, he chats: he is still human.


I know there were those who think he is should be serious. He was critised for chatting during the national anthem, having sex, having sex with a blond ooman, crashing his car, partying...

Yet here is what an Indian sees !

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/bo...stray/986251/1 </div></div>That is it exactly! Bolt is having a great time out there and it is communicative. The Yanks annoy me with their scowls and obnoxious concentration like their the only ones on the track who come to win. Though to be fair, as Michael Johnson said during his commentary, he had to take the time to get focused and nobody could talk to him before a race, whereas Bolt can go from joking and playing to focused from one minute to the next.

Re: Jamaica Olympics Central

At Atlanta Frankie Frediks went over to Johnson .. And he ignored Frankie...That was nasty....I have to give Johnson props for his analysis has gravitas and depth.. He is capable of cutting through trite platitudes....

She who must be obeyed tells me that I like the fact he is inteligent and fair....

Re: Jamaica Olympics Central

Johnson ignored Frankie Fredericks? Now that is not nice at all. Fredericks is such a gentleman and was a great competitor (plus I'm all for the solidarity of the African diaspora; many African-Americans seem not to understand the concept, but that's another discussion I guess).

Having said all that, Johnson he seems to have matured greatly since he's no longer in competition. I appreciate his insights and observations - good or bad - about the athletes in general and Jamaica track &amp; field in particular. More so than one black woman on the BBC saying how being &quot;easy-going&quot; is part of the Jcan culture. Stereotype much?

One reporter, for example, slipped asking Bolt a legitimate question whether Jamaica sprinters were drug-free by starting, <span style="font-weight: bold">&quot;The Jamaican drug team .</span>.. '


<span style="font-style: italic">sigh. though everyone seemed to laugh it off, no wonder he was ticked off when them ask him bout lewis etc last night.</span>
