While I would like to celebrate heartily because Veronica is my Jamaican sister, I have a question regarding the photofinish that has been released to verify her victory. Why is Lauren Williams so far ahead in the photo physically, accomplished the same timing and yet Veronica was awarded the Gold? Can someone please explain, because it has me perplexed and it is stealing my joy for her.

Well deserved VERONICA!!!!!!!!!!!Excellent job.

CONGRATS!!!!!! TO OUR GIRL RONNIE......... She has once again made herself and her country EXTREMELY PROUD..... We all should take this victory as a representation of how powerful we are as Jamaicans, as in the midst of adversities (the aftermath of hurricane Dean), we come out as # 1..... IN THE WORLD!!!.... Unnuh si how wi powaful peeple..... aal wi need fi duh yannow is wi aal jus need fi unite an move as 1 solid force.....si mi.

The girl is dam good man.

Yow Shazz, it's the camera angle. If the camera was in front of the sprinters, everyone would look like there tied, at this angle, it looks like she's more than a split second ahead, put the camera to the side, and that would show that she's barely in the league.

Veronica gwan represent JA to the fulliest. Asafa naw represent wi good, mi tired of the excuses them now man, bloodfiyah!

tuff lucky powell we would be back i now you have what it takes

i am proud of veronica i can depend on her to get a gold medal whether at olympics, world championships or any major event. I can't depend on Asafa he only wants money. i can bet if it was a million dollar race he would have won it. Him sell out jamaica

this is for shazz, if you look between veronica's legs that is lauren williams leg. so you can see she is not very far behind. her body might be one place but all it takes is just a toe to cross the line first and i guess veronica got that edge, so she is the CHAMPION. look how far ahead veronica's body is but yet still lauren's leg is almost the same spot as hers (veronica)so it is very possible that they could get the same time. but our CHAMPION VERONICA got the toe over the line first so there you got it. just be happy for her and JAMAICA and dont try to find something to tarnish that. now go and celebrate.

U go girl, u make us pround and then u guh say this one is for the Jamaican people.

Keep it up.

Powell need more confidence in himself, him say him get nervous when him hear Gay a come up behind him, lol

Gwaan Veronica..... Wi proud of yu.

Jamaica is still doing well in track & field,despite strong competition,from countries, such as U.S.A. & Britain.

The American girl arms and legs crossed the line before Veronica. However the torso is what is used as the deciding factor in these races, so note whose chest goes to the line first - Our home girl of course.

Love fi see Jamaica getting headlines for something positive

I know that sometimes in life our nerves tend to get the better of us. However, as a world record holder Asafa should not have any excuse. What should it matter if the other athletes are displaying certain behaviours that may tend to get others nervous. You are a champion, act like a champion, who cares if you think the other person is faster than you. Never make excuse in life or let others know your weakness are. This is just a part of their tatics/scheme. Asafa, for a God fearing man, I was banking on you to do us Jamaicans proud. I am tired of these doped up, hyped up Americans displaying arrogant behaviours as if they are NATURALLY talented or champions. Just give them a couple more weeks to hear that he was tested positive.

Congrats to all de athletes (especially Veronica)

Yes Shazz ... Camera angle. Rewind years earlier when Merlene lost out pon fi har gold similarly.

ASAFA !!!!!!!!!!! RESPEC RASTA, but yuh keep on disaapointing wi when de big meets dem cum. What is de matta star ? Yuh nuh prepare yuhself properly, or yuh nervous when de whol world ah watch ??? A nuh nuh diss ting cause 3rd still good, but ongle fi some athletes, not fi an athlete of your calibre.

DUH, WIN DE OLYMPICS B4 YUH RETIRE, DATS ALL MI AH BEG YUH. MI NUH BUSINESS HOW YUH DUH PON DE LIKKLE CIRCUIT RACES DEM (INDOOR OR OUTDOOR), JUS WIN DE GOD DAMN OLYMPICS WHEN IT CUM AROUND !! I KNOW THESE CIRCUIT RACES ARE BIGGA $, BUT STILL, DUH, WIN DE OLYMPICS !!!

You go girl! You make us proud. Don't know what's going on with Asafa but right now you are NUMBER 1. Congrats to you V.C.

Yow warlady ... yuh mek mi laff till mi almost drap offa mi chair. Mi neva did ah look pon it wid dat twist ..... LOL !!!! Tears deh a mi yeye.

Still, my question is, why him mek de Gay ketch him ???? LOL!!! No Gay nuh run dung nuh yardie and ketch dem !!!

Congrats to Veronica. The Americans have being cheating for years you name them: Carl Lewis, Micheal Johnson, Maurice Greene, Gatlin, Gail Devers etc. have all in my opinion took steriods but just never got caught. Now Gay seems to be out front its funny how last year he was finishing 4th now all of a sudden he wins every race he enters. It just goes to show how good the Jamaican athletes are to beat them, yet alone compete with them.

veronica you are the best you have bin there done that dont have to prove anything else i am a track and field finatic i watch every event that i can from the youths in school to the pro's i pray god for asafa that he can build his nerve up the coaches need to be doing something about that i am still proud of him cause i am confident he is no drug cheat so losing is no disgrace the cheaters should be ashamed when they win because of drugs.
