[/caption]Islandistas and islandistos are again doing it like only we do (*coff - bussing up records drug-free*) in the World Championships in Berlin!
Of course, everyone in the world saw or watched the Youtube clips of Usain Bolt MASHING UP his own men's 100m world record last night in a sizzling time of 9.58 - the first man to delve into 9.5 territory - a place many thought they would never see.
And then today, Shelly-Ann Fraser did the double as well, adding the women's 100m World Championship title to her Olympic gold medal in the event.
She led a Jamaica 1-2 of the event, with Kerron Stewart (a lot of people's favourite) coming second.
Just like the men's final which was a Caribbean pepperpot with two Jamaicans, two Trinis and an Antiguan in de mix (yes, that is five out of eight finalists), the women's final had a strong Caribbean flavour.
There were four Jamaicans - Fraser and Stewart were joined by fellow yaadies Veronica Campbell-Brown and Aleen Bailey and the two Bahamian veterans - Chandra Sturrup and Debbie Ferguson-McKenzie.
De world finally seeing that it is really de Caribbean that run t'ings pun de track! What Americans, what?!
Even more significant is that Shelly-Ann's time was 10.73 which is not only the fastest time this year, but the joint third-fastest time ever for a woman.
Let me repeat that for you again, in case you don't get the significance. She ran the joint third-fastest time ever
(Christine Arron also ran 10.73. Of course, Arron is also an islandista, born in the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe)
The only two women to run faster than her are Marion Jones (10.70) and Florence Griffith-Joyner (10.49).
And well... de two a dem... EH! is all I have to say.
As far as I am concerned, Shelly wid har cute likkle self is the world record holder.
Yeh, Islandista say dat. Who ent like mih could bite mih, in the words of Queen Fay-Ann. Is real bad-gal talk I putting down here.
Shelly is my world record holder.
Because, see it...
Even Marion Jones with all the illegal juice she eventually confessed to taking, could not match the insane times that Flo-Jo ran. And we all know the suspicions around Flo-Jo. But dead women tell no tales, oui?
So congratulations to Shelly-Ann Fraser - the world's fastest woman!
