Shelly-Ann Fraser, Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart propelled Jamaica into Olympics athletics history with a rare gold-silver-silver sweep of the Women’s 100-metre finals here Sunday night that stunned the world and sent the island’s 2.8 million people into a state of euphoria.
The landmark achievement sent the Americans to the IAAF’s Jury of Appeal, complaining that one of their three athletes in the race had false-started. However, the distasteful protest was thrown out in less than an hour, and the Jamaicans will today receive their medals inside the Bird’s Nest Stadium.
