Top Ten Things Usain Bolt Could Have Done With the Extra Time He Had in the 100m Olympic sprint

  1. Mine for his own gold to be used in his Gold Medal.
  2. Send the other runners a postcard that says, "Wish you were here."
  3. Put on a pair of pants.
  4. Teach Britney Spears how to be a good parent.
  5. Wait in line for an iPhone.
  6. Get a tattoo that says, "My other legs are real rocket boosters!"
  7. Write a letter to the other runners explaining that he was writing to them from the future and telling them that he had already won.
  8. Give an interview about the Gold Medal he was about to win.
  9. Set up a camera with a timer so that he can have his own copy of the photo finish.
  10. Bake a huge cake, get inside of it, and surprise the other runners as they cross the finish line.

Jessica Ennis - GB Heptathlon Gold Medalist has Jamaican roots!

Jessica Ennis wins Olympic heptathlon gold for Great Britain

Post 05 August 2012 By BBC Sport In Latest News Round Up

Jessica with Dad Jamaican born Vinnie Ennis and Mom Alison Powell.
 Jessica Ennis was crowned Olympic heptathlon champion in front of an adoring home crowd, as a new British record carried her to gold.
In one of the iconic moments of the London Games, the woman long anointed as the face of the Games fulfilled her destiny with a series of brilliant personal bests that left her rivals helpless.
Ennis knew she was almost certain of the title going into Saturday evening's final event, and she delivered with two minutes 8.65secs in the 800m.
The 26-year-old's total of 6,955 points was a huge 306 points ahead of Germany's Lilli Schwarzkopf in silver and 327 clear of world champion Tatyana Chernova in bronze.
"I honestly can't believe it after all the hard work and after the disappointment in Beijing 2008," said Ennis.
... She will go down in British sporting history with this result, and her smiles of disbelief and joy after crossing the line were mirrored around the heaving stands of the Olympic Stadium.
From Wikipedia: Jessica Ennis’ profile

Born in Sheffield, Ennis is one of two daughters of Vinnie Ennis and Alison Powell,[4] and has a younger sister named Carmel.[4] Her father, originally from Jamaica,[5] is a self-employed painter and decorator;[4] her mother, a social worker, was born in Derbyshire.[6] Neither of her parents was particularly athletic, but her father did some sprinting at school whilst her mother favoured the high jump.[5] They introduced her to athletics by taking her to a 'Start:Track' event at Sheffield's Don Valley Stadium during the 1996 school summer holidays.

With Digicel Ambassadors Usain Bolt and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce both taking gold in their respective 100 metres Olympic finals and the West Indies winning the Digicel Series, Digicel's gift to Jamaica totals a staggering JA$220 million in free credit and is Digicel's way of saying 'thank you' to its valued customers for years of support and to mark the milestone of 50 years of Independence coupled with the wonderful achievements over that time.
Digicel is the largest supporter of sports in Jamaica and is proud to have sponsored the world's fastest man, Usain Bolt, since 2004, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce since 2008 and now the entire Jamaican Olympic team.
Mark Linehan, Digicel Jamaica CEO, commented, "As a company born and bred in Jamaica, we are brimming with pride and excitement for so many different reasons: Jamaica's 50th year of Independence, the stunning displays of sporting prowess at the Olympics by the Jamaican athletes and in particular of course Usain and Shelly-Ann, the Digicel Test at Sabina where the Windies triumphed over New Zealand – the list is endless."
He continued: "Digicel is proudly Jamaican and, at this most meaningful of times for the country, we are happy to join with our customers in marking the occasion and celebrating Jamaica. On behalf of the entire Digicel family, we would like to say "big up Jamaica" and here's to the next 50 years of greatness."

Shelly-Ann Triumphs in London Olympics

 Shelly Repeats 100m Olympic title

— as Campbell Brown claims bronze
Jamaica Observer | Sunday, August 05, 2012

LONDON, England — She thought her win four years in Beijing, China was sweeter as she was an unknown and inexperienced then, but you couldn't tell as she fell to the track in shock and surprise after her win in the women's 100m was confirmed on the big scoreboard inside Olympic Stadium last night.
In front of a packed stadium with capacity 80,000 spectators on a cool night perfect for sprinting, Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Veronica Campbell Brown provided Jamaica's first two medals — gold and bronze at the XXX Olympiad in London to get the medal hunt underway and jump into third place, on the athletics table and 28th overall, tied with Ethiopia behind leaders Great Britain with three gold medals and the People's Republic of China with a gold and two bronze.

'Pryceless'! Shelly, VCB open Ja's medal account

André Lowe, Senior Staff Reporter | The Gleaner
LONDON, England:
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce lying on the track, hands cupped over her face after an Olympic 100m final. We have seen this before, but this time around, with Beijing now an ever-fading memory, it was the capacity crowd inside London's Olympic Stadium that was jumping wildly for the little Jamaican.
Like she did as an unknown four years ago, Fraser-Pryce struck gold in the 100m at the London Olympic Games, clocking a blistering 10.75, to lead silver medallist Carmelita Jeter, 10.78, and compatriot Veronica Campbell-Brown, 10.81, to the line, as Jamaica secured its first two medals at the games.
"Yes, the track is fast," Fraser-Pryce laughed, before sharing her simple but effective strategy - get out of the blocks first, and stay in front.
