The Vuvuzela, horns, ThunderStix, healthy adult men and teenagers drown the cries of voices in the public mind. Anything you can do is look at the true fanaticism run its course, as a jovial giant who has just covered 100 meters in 9.82 seconds to run up and down shoulder in front of a sea of ??yellow patterns or green dress in the national stadium in Jamaica.
The site is known as "The Office" for how the country's football team took over the company during the unbeaten streak of 50 in over a decade, is far from intrusive at this time, since it absorbs a great man in the adulation.
Each slap of a palm tree viewer, every gesture of the hand and removing the shirt - in particular - sent another jolt of energy through the crowd, which reverberates around the stadium and bounces off the lush mountains to the east, before lying in the tropical sunset.
Usain Bolt, world citizen, a creature of the night, the ambassador of fun, is at home. And on this warm May afternoon, after an easy victory in Jamaica Invitational IAAF meet, the house is happy to have it. "It's amazing to see so many people," Bolt said, "I live because of the crowd. It's an incredible feeling."
Its recovering from the berm should be a cooling because your muscles not common. In fact, it may be just a warm up, a prelude, a literal run-through, so that everyone expects to be here 6 August
This day, the nation of Jamaica celebrates 50 anniversary of its independence, its golden anniversary, and in England, the London Olympics will host the award ceremony for the men's 100 meters race Women. A flag will be generated for each of the three top finishers, and few people at this stage in their hearts believe that three Jamaican men stopped on the steps to receive gold, silver and bronze, and raise the three flags Sound of Jamaica national anthem of the country, "Jamaica, Land that I love."
"The Jamaicans have expectations for the 2012 London throughout the sprint, and the expectation that the Jamaican 100 meters will be a celebration," says Dr. Donna Hope, lecturer in reggae studies at the University of the West Indies in Kingston.
Adds his colleague UWI sports historian Julian Cressi, "The Olympic Games is a perfect platform to celebrate our independence to the world. The country is looking for the most of it can."
And why not? Jamaica was the absolute power in the world of short course when the bolt floated across the finish line in world record time in the 100 to 2008 Beijing Olympics.
In the past two years, including a sweep of 100 in London does not seem an option but a smart bet. Because of Bolt, while a singular talent - "he's a magnet," as he calls for hope - not alone.
Six of the first 100 meters seven times in the world this year were carried out by Jamaican Yohan Blake Bolt or Asafa Powell and teammates. In fact, Blake Bolt won convincingly in both 100 and 200 meters at Jamaica's Olympic trials.
This is because, as the country seems determined to succeed even more, many of these people cheering Bolt in May are now on the edge slightly.
Barely a month after Bolt won the race here, crashed his BMW into a protective barrier around 5 am on the way home from a party in Kingston. Bolt is not a good driver (which destroyed a BMW in 2009, too), so that this incident could have been wiped out had it not been for his performance on tests of Jamaica a few weeks later.
However, the incident drew rare criticism of Jamaica, and the withdrawal of the final Olympic tune-up meet in Monaco for an undisclosed injury "soft" that is causing most concern.
Bolt has opened new notions of what was humanly possible with his world records in the 2008 Games and 2009 World Championships in Berlin, which has an incredible 100 in 9:58 and 19:19 in the 200 meters.
In proceedings against Blake, but it seemed likely that human pin, leaving blocks of 100 to finish at 9.86 and was approved in the last 50 meters of 200 to finish 03 seconds behind Blake 19.80, the fastest in the world this year.
However, a defective bolt is better than most sprinters in the world. The best American rival, Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin in the 100 meters, Bolt and Wallace Spearmon in the 200 friend, have no margin for error if you want the podium.
The Americans know it. "I think it will take a 19.5 medal in the 200 meters," said Spearmon. But it is also a challenge. "Nobody is going to screw the hand, Asafa Blake or a coin. If able, we will definitely win."
Even with the magnet load queries, Jamaica seems to be still able to earn a sweep of 100 and is still in favor of going 1-2 at 200. This speaks to the depth of the athletes in this country of 3 million people, and the success of Bolt, Blake & Co. provides nearly the talent will continue to cover.
hey are called Penn Relays, but the crowd at Franklin Field otherwise noted. And 'provided in the green and gold flags and sport in Jamaica, then there is school the next track, wore uniforms that places like St. Jago and Calabar and Vere Tech (33 schools in Jamaica in total). "This is like a hobby," says Christopher Harley, assistant coach at Wolmar boys school in Kingston.
Are Penn Relays in April, just weeks after the preparation of the championships in Jamaica, the island known to all as "Fields". The teams head north to the island of Pennsylvania teenager in good condition, recently performed in a nationally televised contest that filled the National Stadium during most of the week.
Aluminum of all secondary schools in Jamaica over the world come to see the children running. And "March Madness in the ear, with much passion. After Campos, running in front of 40,000 at Philadelphia against the best America has to offer is a bit", as the Pro Bowl, but that does not stop at Jamaica to dominate.
In the 4x100 men's elite race, the team was 1-2-3 in Jamaica, led by Wolmar, who won his third consecutive title at Penn Relays. The baton passing was impeccable and the speed that was falling back, especially when Odean Skeena took the pole in the second section.
It flew straight for the opposite and looked every bit like the next big thing, giving it an advantage in Wolmar unsurpassed way to victory in 40.34 seconds over Jamaica College and Herbert Morrison.
Skeena has its point of view of the first secondary school in Jamaica to break 10 seconds in the 100 meters and left a year, is underway.
He won the bronze medal this summer at the World Youth Championship in Barcelona, ??as the screening of Blake Young in 2004 and crossed the finish in a PR of 10.25. "Sometimes m'amago training," he admits, "but when I put my mind on this, I can do nothing."
In general, you can not hide for long. Everyone knows Skeena, including Powell, who has had conversations about sprint cars and sport. "The old school cars, Ferrari," said Skeena. The country just is not so great, and stars like Blake and Powell will visit schools and see the up and comers.
Culture of Jamaica in a Sprint grows with the school system. From the beginning, is very funny and quite serious. Sanya Richards-Ross, the queen of American 400 meters, was raised in Jamaica until he was 12 years old, and remembers working in the block starts and passes in front of large crowds for 8 years.
The train young people for the duration of the school year, about nine months. However, there seems to be no consensus sobreentrenar.
Harley, who trains in Wolmar, states that all children in their school is closed for at least three months. If a star like Skeena runs international meets in the summer, do not start training for the season until November. The workout begins slowly and increases every year, slowly.
