You know you're destined to be a legend when Ato almost mistakenly calls you #MerleneOttey

Crazy stats USA only have 3 silver medals from 2004 till present in womens 100m at the Olympics, I think the last time they won gold was 2000. Same for the Men no gold since 2004!

[@NevaUndaPressure]

Women since '96

Yea the 90s was the end of the American track reign

Thanks to Jamaica🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@omarionowen9733]

The last they win gold was 1996 because Marion was DQ for drugs used

[@smoothnubian]

at least the US has a drug testing program, unlike some other countries

Least experience with one of the best coaches in her corner back then.

Met lauryn in Jamaica at Champs , nice girl we took pictures.This is basically the takeover of womens sprinting till today, not that carribean women weren’t doing good before but they never let go of it from then till now!

[@smoothnubian]

reminds me of east germany

[@anthonychin1873]

@@smoothnubian Your point is an insinuation here And for your information the East Germans were not in an era where testing and other things were so strict Bad mind you bad mind .America won gold from 1984-1996 at the Olympics with 2 questionable yet you gone to the East Germans who never won a medal at the Olympics in the sprints for women namely the 100 and 200

[@Gro-485]

Not the Caribbean but specifically Jamaica.
