Bolt celebrates the 100m World record in New York (Victah Sailer)
Kingston, Jamaica - World 100m record holder Usain Bolt, former record holder Asafa Powell, Olympic 200m champion Veronica Campbell-Brown, and national 100m champion Kerron Stewart head Jamaica's team for this summer's Beijing Olympic Games.
Bolt, who ran 9.72* on 30 May in New York, Asafa Powell whose World record of 9.74 it improved, and Campbell-Brown, who ran 22.05 to win the 2004 Olympic 200m title in Athens, are Jamaica's leading medal contenders in Beijing.
However, Campbell-Brown lost out on a place in the 100m dash. At the Jamaican Trials last weekend Kerron Stewart won the womens 100m, a race in which four runners went sub-10.90. Campbell-Browns misfortune was that despite running a marvellous 10.88 she finished fourth, and therefore loses out on a spot at 100m the distance at which she is the reigning World champion.
