For Shelly- Ann Fraser-Pryce this means five (5) gold individual medals. Even better than Bolt.

The Americans have nothing over Jamaicans.

Commentary

For A. Parchment to injure himself in a practice before a great race as favourite to get gold in the 110 hurdles is shameful.  We have a lot of soul searching to do.  You do not gamble with a big race coming up.

We need nerves of steel. Parchment did not demonstrate this.  Very sad!

We congratulate Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce on her success.
