Jamaican runners

Jamaica is known for various things, but in recent times it is known for its athletes especially their runners.

Usain Bolt has set many records for upcoming athletes to beat.

I am not much of a sports fan, and apart from this one athlete mentioned above, I don't know any others.


In my time it was Donald Quarrie

and Merlene Ottey


who were the ones to watch, but our runners have changed so much since then.

Who can you name from memory? Do you even know these runners?
