KEEPING IT REAL

“It has been a rough journey, especially from last year. I have said that this year is a faithful year for me after last year’s disappointment, after not competing at the Olympics at all. I think I have recovered well from such a bad injury last year and, as I said, I pat myself on the shoulder.”

— Shericka Jackson (Jamaica), World Athletics Championships women’s 200m bronze medallist

“I gave my best, I got a personal best, I have nothing to feel ashamed of or disappointed about… I am a part of Jamaican history in the 200m, so it really means a lot to me.”

— Bryan Levell (Jamaica), World Athletics Championships men’s 200m bronze medallist
