I was waiting to see if Veronica Campbell-Brown would sucessfully defend her title today in the women's 200 Meters. I figured with all the hype of her fellow teammates wins it's either gonna put even more pressure on her or hype her up. I guess it was the latter because she pushed herself to the very end to beat Americn Allison Felix (who incidentally won the silver in 2004 as well) with personal best of 21.74. Felix's time clocked in at 21.93. Kerron Stewart of Jamaica rounded up the top three with a time of 22 second.

Below, Campblell-Brown is being congratulated by Felix.

Her site http://www.veronicacampbellbrown.com/ is very informative. You can read her diary where she updates fans on her personal take of her races. I'm sure she has much she could divulge about this one. Check out her diary here.

Like her male counterpart 21 year old Shelly-Ann Fraser is making history. She is definitely contributing to Jamaica's claim to the title of Fastest Country in the World. She won the women’s 100 meters Sunday night in 10.78 seconds.

She was followed by teammates Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart, who both finished in 10.98 and both collected silvers—giving Jamaica the first sweep of medals in a women’s 100 by any nation at any Olympics or world championships.

Wow...can't wait to see what these Jamaicans will do next. Gwan girls (and guys too)!!!!!
