Usain Bolt competed for Jamaica not the Caribbean

Aug 23, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,

Respectfully, Jamaican Usain Bolt will bow out as the best track athlete we have ever witnessed in the 100 meters and 200 meters. Did Usain Bolt ever have any competition during his track career? I knew well in advance that there is no one beating him for the gold medal when he is competing in any 100 meters or 200 finals so there was never any excitement on my part. I could never understand the reason for anyone going through the floor when they already know Usain Bolt in unbeatable in the 100 and 200. I am a big fan of American Michael Phelps, but I always knew he was beatable and the world witnessed him being schooled by’ Joseph Schooling of Singapore for the gold medal. American Allyson Felix is my heartbeat and everyone knew she had tight competition from Bahamian Miller who outclassed her with a dive for the gold.
May I remind the general public that Usain Bolt never and will never compete for the Caribbean in general and there will never be a Caribbean Anthem….Usain Bolt is Jamaican and will always compete for Jamaica…It’s the Jamaican Anthem that is played when he stands on a podium. Yes, he is the idol of many which is anyone’s right but it would be nice if some persons can create their own stardom.
