Wow, I didn't realise that Jamaica's world-leading times were so all-embracing....

Where in Jamaica was Debbie Dunn born? And how old was she when she migrated to the US?

Yes, Debbie Dunn was born in Jamaica. But she now runs for the US. This is where she trains and gets all that makes her success possible.
I don’t know why you chose to list her the way you did. Your kind of thinking is part of the reason things get out of hand when situations arise. Prime example; the intense exchange when SAF got busted.

Thread unnecessary. This is going to turn into a flame war.

You should Duck after posting something like this LOL, This Forum is rife with JEALOUSY , HATERED , SKEPTICISM & DISRESPECT of the Jamaicans as you will see from some of the responces you'll get to this topic .... But you fail to mention that Jamaicans also lead the world in the mens Junior 100 (DEXTER LEE 10.16) & Masters Women Merlene Ottey .. Duck !!

Re: Jamaica leads the world in the sprints in 2010

Interesting - potentially inflammatory topic - but I have to say Jamaica is filling a gaping hole in its sprint resume with Gonzales and Chambers PBing with championship medal winning times. I for one love it - I hope all three get to face off before the season ends and I hope that the rise of Jamaica's 400m runners will mean that a competitive 4 x 400M is finally at hand come 2011 World Championship and the 2012 Olympics.

True, I bleed black gold and green, but this is unneccessary. This will lead nowhere.



One love!

She was 13 when she moved to the US. Here is a great article about her

13, eh? Long enough for her to have had some influence from her Jamaican roots....

Much like Sanya Richards, I suppose?

Maybe; IMO....the reference to Debbie Dunn was juvenile...at best. My last word on this issue.
