ANOTHER UNEQUIVOCAL MOMENT IN HISTORY

FOR A TINY BUT BIG ISLAND AT HEART JAMAICA

MAN AND WOMAN ATHLETES OF THE YEAR

Usain (Lighting) Bolt & Shellian Frazier

Jamaica W. I. has been known for its athleticism around the world. It has some of  the fastest and youngest athletic sprinters  in the world doing 6.7 to 10.0 meters flat and recently garnered one of the best track fields in the entire Caribbean region.

When it was announced recently over the radio, on the internet and on television that Jamaica was placed again in the history books, this time for having two of its top sprinters-Usain Lighting Bolt (a name I believe I was the first journalist to name him when he made history in Soul in my first article on him) and Shellian Frazier, becoming Athletics man and woman of the year, and that it was only the third time in history that  this had been done with the two athletes coming from the same county, Jamaicans were naturally ecstatically exhilarated yet humble at the same time. Jamaica followed Great Britain and the United States on the short list.

I surmised that the world  should keep Jamaican Athletes on their historic watch for these kinds of phenomenon, because they are going to continue to be a Enigma or (beacon) in our world.

Congratulations to both athletes.
