Campbell-Brown takes the 200 meter gold
By: Devon Anderson and Dwight Fraser
Jamaica’s domination of the sprint events at this year’s Beijing Olympics was completed today as Veronica Campbell-Brown took an impressive gold in the women’s 200 meters.
She beat the United States’ Allison Felix into a silver medal position with fellow Jamaican Kerron Stewart claiming the bronze.
The defending champion produced a smooth performance across the finish line in a time of 21.74 seconds.
Jamaica has now won all four of the individual sprint events. Campbell-Brown’s victory will mean that the U.S. team will return home without a gold medal in the individual sprint events for the first time since they boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
Yardflex would like to congratulate Veronica Campbell-Brown on her victory.

I am so inspired by the performance of these athletes and so very proud.
Order of Distinction would be a fitting tribute to all the gold medalists and Order of Merit to the silver and bronze medalists respectively.

Did you hear the comment from Lauryn Williams after the Americans drop the batons in the relays? She said they are the best team out there and somebody must have vodoo them. What a little girl out of order. Girl, you are too young to believe in obeah. All you need is some yellow yam, cornmeal dumpling, ackee and saltfish then nobody can catch you. Americans are sore losers. Apparently the drug factories are closed so they have to go natural.Watch the interview with her after the race.Jamaica to the world!!!!!!!!
