A 66-member team was named by the Jamaica Olympic Association (JOA) to represent Jamaica at the Olympic Games set for July 26 to August 12, 2024 in Paris, France.

Jamaica will participate in 17 events —men and women’s 100m, men and women’s 200m, men and women’s 400m, men and women’s 800m, women’s 1500m, women’s 100m hurdles, men’s 110m hurdles, men and women’s 400m hurdles, men and women’s long jump, men and women’s high jump, men and women’s triple jump, men and women’s discus, men and women’s shot put, women’s hammer, men and women’s 4×100 relay, women’s 4×400 relay and the 4×400 mixed relay.

The country will not compete in the men’s 4x400m at the Olympic Games for only the second time since 1948 after they failed to qualify despite several attempts including in a special relay event at the recent national trials.

Jamaican sprint legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, a three-time Olympic gold medalist and 10-time world champion, is among the 32 women named to the team. Fraser-Pryce has said she will retire after the Games, which will be her fifth Olympics.
