Cant Stop That Irie Feeling!

Posted by ahales on October 24, 2008

This year in Beijing was great for Jamaica. The Track and Field team produced stunning performances to the delight not only of their Jamaican supporters but of everyone who appreciate the magnitude of what they have achieved. Eleven medals, 6 golds, 3 world records, 1 olympic record from this small island state!! Surely it was an irie time in Jamaica and indeed in the diaspora around the world. Usain Bolt’s victory celebrations left every in no doubt that he was feeling irie. The irie feeling still persists as manifested in the week long home coming celebration with the olympic team during the month of October.
