Okay so I haven't been a complete traitor to my own country with the Olympics. Canada racked up 3 medals today, even though 2 are for wrestling LOL. How gay

But I got up at 6am today to watch the semi-finals. And in one hour I'll be watching Jamaica sweep the medal podium. But since there is so much focus on the mens 100, they have CANADA'S OWN Donovan Bailey.....who in 1996 set an unbeaten Olympic record of 9.84. His record stood for 12 years!!! So they were interviewing him this morning and I could see the pride beaming from him....cuz even though he competed and won for Canada, he was born in Manchester, Jamaica. Plus he's kinda hot

YouTube - 100m Men's World Records. 9.84 sec - Donovan Bailey.

Pure madness outa road yah now. Place lock down. No work can gwaaan tomorrow.

But still, I hear the Americans are protesting? They want the race run over claiming that one of their own "knew she false started"? They are also protesting saying that they should get the bronze medal?

Listen, I am going into rant mode now.

For years, the Americans have robbed Jamaica of Gold in the sprints because of their rampant doping habbits. Now that BALCO shone the spotlight on it, and stricter measures have been put in place, there is a more level playing field, and the Jamaicans are dominating as they should have done for years.

You mean to tell me that the Americans can't just accept defeat gracefully?
Even if there was a false start, the girl would have gotten an advantage, which was nullified because of the superior performance of the Jamaicans. Kerron got the worst start of the race for crying out loud, and still got silver.

This is just bad sportsmanship, bad mind, and arrogance all rolled up together with the American team.

BOOOOO America!!! YAAAAAAAYYYY JAMAICA!!!!!!!!!

Yellow yam, dumpling an' cassava to di flipping rerl!!!!

Rude!!!!!
