Before Bolt appeared, many people did not know the country of Jamaica. While Bolt continued to set new human sprint records, Jamaica became the representative country in the sprint field. Bolt, Powell and Blake are all sprinters, and they are all from Jamaica. Now bolt has retired, but Jamaica's sprinting legend continues, a new generation of sprinters emerge, and now a bolt successor , Prince , has been born.
Prince, a 19-year-old, won 2 gold and 1 bronze medals at the Jamaica Junior Athletics Championships, winning 2 gold and 1 bronze medal in the men's 400 meters, gold medal in the men's 4x100 meters and bronze medals in the men's 200 meters. In the men's 400m event, Prince won the gold medal in 45.99 seconds. In the men's 200m event, Prince ran a time of 20.92 seconds and won a bronze medal.
Although Prince's specialty is 400 meters, his performance in the 100 meters event is also good, in the men's 4x100 meters event, Prince, who played the 4th stick, showed a strong explosiveness, and finally won the championship with 4 people, which also made Prince instantly become the bolt successor in the hearts of Jamaican netizens. The sprint event of the Jamaica Athletics Championships is similar to the table tennis event of the Chinese National Games, and it is more difficult to win gold medals at home than in international competitions.
We can feel Prince's amazing explosiveness, he was already in the 5th place when he took over the bat, but Prince moved up to 1st in a row and crossed the finish line first. Before, everyone always said that Bolt was a teleporter monster, and now that Jamaica has reappeared as a teleporter monster, Prince's super personal ability has taught other opponents a lesson. To know that other opponents are Jamaica's new generation of athletes, to be able to stage a "overtaking drama" in jamaica's sprinting kingdom, which really requires excellent strength!
Judging by his performance at the Jamaica Junior Athletics Championships, Prince is definitely a rising star of the future. Although he is not yet able to reach bolt's level, considering that Prince is only 19 years old, and he is engaged in the 400-meter project, he has shown a super explosive power in the 100-meter project, and it is believed that Prince will definitely become the focus of Jamaica's cultivation in the future.
Taking Bolt's career resume as an example, Bolt's main event is the 200 meters, but the event that really makes Bolt famous is the men's 100 meters. When Bolt ran out of 9.58 seconds to set the world record, the world's track and field fans were all boiling. Before that, no one had thought that humans would be able to run into 9.6 seconds.
Now Prince also has excellent sprint talent, and it is not impossible to change the main event to 100 meters now, after all, the Paris Olympic Games will be held in 2 years, Prince will only be 21 years old, and he is expected to create his own legend in the Paris Olympic Games!
