So happy for former MVP Track & Field Club member and Olympic Bronze Medal winner (Tokyo 4x4), Junelle Bromfield, going to the Olympics again. Did we hear Junelle refer to her "Boo" in this video? 😆 Nicely done. Those who have ears to hear, let them hear.

If you want to see one of the best athletics meetings held each year then watch the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold Gyulai Istvan Memorial, Tuesday, July 9, starting at 10:30am Jamaica time. This event is like a Diamond League meet pretending to be WACT, it is that good.

We are so very pleased to share with you that the Head Coach of the MVP Track & Field Club, Paul Francis, has been appointed a Member of the Order of Distinction in the Rank of Officer in the Island of Jamaica. This National Honour is well deserved Paul.

At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, in the women's 100m final, MVP athlete ShellyAnnFraserPryce won gold in 10.78 seconds. The silver medal was shared with Kerron Stewart and another MVP athlete Sherone Simpson after they checked the photo finish to the THOUSANDTH of a second ==> 10.979!

First Wanda Diamond League meeting after the 2024 Paris Olympics today in Lausanne, Switzerland starting at 1pm Jamaica Time. Now 20 years and 5 days old, Tia Clayton also runs in her first ever Diamond League meeting. What an excellent place for her to start. worldathletics.org/competitions/d…

Wake up early in Jamaica to watch the Wanda Diamond League meeting in Silesia, Poland. MVP athletes Kishane Thompson & Rohan Watson in the men's 100m at 8:41am, then Janieve Russell in the 400m hurdles, Sada Williams in the 400m, Tia Clayton & Natasha Morrison in the women's 100m.

Ever notice how MVP athletes are so happy when their teammates do well? Here Natasha Morrison who placed 9th in the final congratulates her training partner Tia Clayton on winning her first ever Diamond League race, the second time of asking. Wind +2.9 so not a PB.

What is happening in athletics news today? This is, we now know the event allocations per Diamond League meeting: worldathletics.org/competitions/d… You are welcome.

In other news today, based on the Olympic Medals won by athletes who train at either Racers Track Club or MVP Track & Field Club, it makes sense to want to train at these Clubs. See medal count here...

Well done to the 7 MVP athletes on being selected to represent Jamaica at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing. Rohan Watson & Nishion Ebanks 60m, Raymond Richards High Jump, Rusheen McDonald 400 & 4x4, Janieve Russell 400m (r), Natasha Morrison 60m, Amoi Brown 60mH

Do dreams come true? Well today for MVP's Raymond Richards it did. From Buff Bay High School, to University of Technology, to MVP Track & Field Club, he won Jamaica first medal at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China. 2.28m for bronze!

So much to unpack here. First Tia (the baby twin) wins with a World Lead 10.92. Then Tina gets a SB to complete the quinella in 11.02. Now to search for when ever have twins come first and 2nd in a Wanda Diamond League league event. Our vote is this is the first!

Join me in welcoming Rasheed Broadbell home to MVP again. His 13.14 +1.1 win today makes it his 4th Wanda Diamond League victory of his career. Did you see his MVP team mate, high jumper Raymond Richards, greet him as he received his flowers?
