She said she did not have her coach at the training village for 2.5weeks. The gentleman says the coach got a a coach’s pass to Go to the days when she was competing. He was very strategic in his answer to make her look like she is a liar.

I am a Jamaican masters discus and javlin athlete. I have reached out to JAAA multiple times asking how i can represent Jamaica at the World Outdoor Masters Championships and they havent felt it is important enough to respond.

Listening is a very important skill. She said she did not have her coach for two weeks before the competition to help her prepare. He said the coach was given a pass for the competition. That's two different things. If they try to bar her from the Olympics, the people should stand up for her. The leaders want to act out when they are called out.

[@dantayhylton9938]

[@MradArawak71]

I have been a coach for 20+ years and gained my badges with GB, though the comments from the athlete are worrying enough, the response from the representatives are totally unacceptable and indicate gross misconduct on more than one issue

[@unbiasedasitcomes]

On the day of the event was not her grouse she wanted her couch accredited so he could be in the village to help her with her workouts the two weeks prior to the event ...

[@marlenebogle9221]

just proves they all in this corruption business, so you have power to disqualify someone from speaking their truth, you just confirmed what she was talking about, for years this nonsense been going on. may this be the end of this era !!

[@delta_tango_dt]

These Olympics have shown that Jamaica has the potential to have several Olympic champions on the track as well as in the field events if the field events athletes begin to get the respect they deserve. The impression I'm getting from the comments played is that she said she didn't have her coach with her for 2.5 weeks while Mr Watts is saying her coach had a pass to the stadium on the day of competition. Two different things. Lamara Distin, ranked #3 in the world in the high jump had the same complaint. Shaneika Ricketts had the same issue at a previous Championship if memory serves me correct. Her husband is her coach as well. A general coach will not have the intimate knowledge of where these field events athletes are at or be able to give them the individual attention they might need during the Games. An athlete could have picked up a minor injury or some other issue after National Trials and needs their coach's assistance right up to the moment of competition to get them ready. It's time the Jamaican officials start addressing the specific needs of the field events athletes as they have proved at this Olympics that they deserve better recognition and bigger share of the available resources.

[@Nattaferg]

I am glad I am not the only one who picked it up. He must think he is slick. This is the hallmark of an untrustworthy person. He sidestepped and failed to address her complaint that she did not have the benefit of her coach for the entire duration of her stay in the village. Getting the coach on the day of the event in the stadium is like pouring a drop of oil into a bucket of water. It won't do anything. I am so frustrated to realise that many of our athletes would have done significantly better had we been more organized.

[@poetryinmotion8302]

Coaching passes for the day of the event is different from being given a pass to train the athlete prior to the day of the competition. The lady spoke the truth.

[@lg4759]

She is not lying because this has been going on for years and years and years. And not just to field athletes, but all. Just that field athletes feel it the most. Frm the junior level straight up to the senior level. All a dem need fi step down and move dem dutty bloodclaat......all the athletes both past and present should take a stand and speak up like she did or else this won't get any better. Frm u hear frano and sir mills speak about the same things, you knw its not a lie...

[@caleshamoodie1591]

Daniel is telling the truth. That was clear sight of frustration. I support her. Too much corruption

[@ishekamiller]

❤thank God Mr Glen Mills spoke up. I always say that athletes have no one to represent them. Jamaican Athletes deserve to be treated better from school years into adulthood. They train hard puts their best out there yet it always a problem to invest in them in more ways than one. I volunteered for years with a couple high schools helping as assistant with athletes so I know that better can be done to make them feel good about how they are treated. 🇯🇲🇯🇲💯

[@beistrong8635]

Like how a new crop of athletes are stepping forward, the jaaa and joa should step down and let a new crop take over. Make sure to add former athletes both top level and those who never really medaled. People who lnow the struggles and are able to fix things. That authoritarion must be the first to go.🛑 It is not 1970s anymore athletes are not going to just shut up and throw/jump/run Also let them know the athletes do not do well because of the jaaa and joa, they do well inspight of them.
