MONTEGO BAY, St James - In addition to Jamaican athletes winning both 100m finals at the 29th Olympiad being held in Beijing, China, being a rare feat in and of itself, there are even more interesting similarities in the races run almost 24 hours apart.
Both Usain Bolt who won the men's 100m and Shelly-Ann Fraser who won the women's, won by margins of .20 seconds and both ran from lane four.
Shelly-Ann Fraser, running in lane three, in awesome form in her gold medal-winning run in the women's 100m at the 29th Olympiad in Beijing, China, yesterday.
