March 29, 2013 Anthony Foster and Gary Smith

NASSAU, Bahamas (Sporting Alert) — Following the astonishing record breaking performances at the 2013 Jamaica Boys and Girls High School Champs earlier this month, nine athletes from the nation have been tested ahead of this weekend’s CARIFTA Games in the Bahamas.

The Jamaican athletes, who arrived in Nassau less than 24 hours ago, were tested early Friday morning before the opening event at the 2013 Carifta Games on Saturday.

According to reports, five male and four female athletes competing on the track and in the field events, were tested.

The athletes tested on the boys’ side were World Junior and Youth discus gold medallist Fedrick Dacres, high jumper Christoffe Bryan, triple and long jumper Clive Pullen, as well as sprinters Javon Francis, who will compete in the 400metres and World Youth 100m champion Odail Todd.

On the girls’ side, quarter-milers Chrisann Gordon, 100m sprinter Monique Spencer, 200m specialist Shericka Jackson and middle distance runner Simoya Campbell were tested.

Meanwhile, sprinter Michael O’Hara will miss the event at the Thomas A Robinson Stadium after coming down with the chicken pox. The sprinter was the hot favourite to win the Under-20 boys 200m, following his flashy 20.64 seconds at the Boys and Girls Champs.

Todd will take his place.

The 2013 Carifta Games open on Friday with the first event schedule for Saturday.

A total of 30 records were broken at the five day high school championships.

Kirani James thrilled to be compared with Bolt, but wants his own

July 12, 2009 staff 1 Comment

By Gary Smith, World-Track

BRESSANONE, Italy — Grenada’s rising star Kirani James says he is thrilled at being mentioned as the same quality as Jamaican sprint marvel Usain Bolt, but wants to write his own history.

James struck the eyes of the leading analysts at the World Youth in Bressanone with only his very first performance.

And by the time he won the 400m half-way at the championships, the Grenadian was already being compared to Bolt, who also had a fruitful Youth and Junior career before transferring the same form at the senior level.

But while being honoured to be labelled "as the next Usain Bolt," James will only be satisfied if he can create his own landmarks.
"It is an honour for me to be compared to Usain Bolt, but I want to write my own history," said James, who ran a faster time than Bolt’s best over the 400m at the same age.

"I am proud to come from the Caribbean because we don’t have many resources.

"Bressanone is too cold for me and I still have to get used to the altitude," he mentioned in reference to the change in conditions. "I would like to come back and ski."

As expected, James was one of the stars at the World Youth Championships that concluded on Sunday.

After running six rounds of races, the 16-year-old was rewarded with two gold medals and two personal best, in addition to his championships record.

He won the 400m on Friday with a championship best of 45.24secs and retuned Sunday evening to complete the 200 and 400m double with a personal best run of 21.05seconds over the half-lap.

James was hoping to get close to Bolt’s event record of 20.40secs, but although he was distance away from the mark, he was delighted to with his performance.

"I am thrilled and happy. I did my best," a tired James said after the race.

"I don’t have a role model although Michael Johnson was a great athlete."

James, Williams double up – World Youth Champs conclude

July 12, 2009 staff

Bressanone/Brixen – A record number of 46 countries won medals at the 6th IAAF World Youth Championships here in Bressanone to conclude an exceptional edition of the 5-day competition.

Individually, Grenada’s Kirani James and Great Britain’s Jodie Williams were the best performers with two individual gold medals each , a new Championship record for James and new World leading times for Williams.

15-year-old Williams became only the second ever Youth to accomplish the sprint double – and the first ever girl – following compatriot Harry Aikines-Aryeetey who won the 100 and 200 at the Marrakech edition of the competition in 2005.

The 16-year-old who had already grabbed two silver medals, one in Ostrava’s World Youths and one at Bydgoszcz’ World Juniors last year, James has doubled his take in the space of five days. He won the 200m in a personal best of 21.05sec, way off Usain Bolt’s record of 20.40secs……READ MORE
