You are so correct that other countries hold their athletes in high regards for just being an Olympian. In the US they are paid for each medal; however the Jamaican Gov't might not have the funds, but the private sector should show some support.

The word “Olympian” is celebrated in the U.K. they don’t need to win no Olympic medal. That U.K. 100m girl is on yoghurt in supermarkets. They regularly come on TV games shows. They visit schools. They are invited and celebrated on many platforms. We as Jamaicans should know that getting there in itself is an amazing reward. The history of the olympics is a great great thing. It’s derived from the Greek gods I believe. I’m so so proud of each and every one. So many great athletes give up along the way.

Mad respect Asafa! I’m so happy you’ve spoken out. More support can be given! Occasional fetes and a few good speeches won’t cut it!

So so true Asafa, I wish I could like this post a million times. My son does tracks and I can’t wait for the day he’s able to move pass champs and go bigger. He got a silver medal at champs for CMHS and actually took a pic with you at a function back in 2018 and Im so proud of him. He has been the champion boy from basic school come all the way to high school and I am looking forward to the day he hits the Olympic field.
