  1. Mr Anderson successfu is for you and yound kids you are doing goog for them 📒 not mp or the proGod and up towns bless up😂

  2. I don’t blame you! Incompetence is a good way to describe what happened. It is really hard to believe otherwise.

  3. The long jump u20 girl I was most disgusted about – it would have gone wrong if her coach did not intervened – poorly executed meet by the organizer- in 2023 big bad Bahamas displaying jumps on paper

  4. Bahamas officials decided to cheat their way to the top using an horrible incompetent process, but failed miserably. Go team Jamaica.

    1. @AyJayzee there are several videos out speaking to behind the scenes inconsistencies with officiating. One such video is sports Max’s interview with David Riley. Also if you’re an ardent track and field fan and you watched the events meticulously, you would’ve seen several instances where things just “didn’t add up” The adjustments of flash times to official times, for example, can be mentioned here… among others for sure.

    2. The Official’s there were only like 30% Bahamian lol, there were “CARIFTA” officials the Bahamas was only the “host” country

    3. Why keep saying “Bahamas officials” the Carifta officials are not picked by the host country.

  5. CONGRATULATIONS – you all did your best inspite of adversity- chin up – Jamaica to the Caribbean and to the world – rivalry is not bad but to cheat is disgusting –

    1. The Carifta needs Jamaica involvement. We are the Super Stars of the game which all of them come out to match their talents against to see where they are so why should we allow ourselves to be treated this way?!! Boycottt especially Bahamas and anyone of them who treats us unfairly.

  6. Wow talk about Scammers were at 🇯🇲🇯🇲but Jah guide us all the way..
    Detractors stays down..

  7. That is why we Jamaicans must stop kill one other join hands and hearts together for better of our country

  8. Bahamas is the one who makes it hard for us because they are envi wi….mi see it clear has daylight them badmine unuh dount go back to Bahamas when and if the time come…

  9. I see so many Bahamians getting upset at us for holding them accountable as if they wouldnt do the same if this happened last year in Jamaica. No elite u-20 athlete fi see back Carifta unless it a keep a Jamaica

    1. Go team Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤😂😅😊love me congratulations old thief them Caan stop we con grass athlete’s love me country love you guys.

  10. Congratulations team Jamaica well proud🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲u all represented us well ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢please Jamaica let us try our best to keep our young athletes happy and treat them well remember other countries are watching… then especially America

  11. Those biased Bahamian officials had ulterior motives to dethrone Jamaica🇯🇲 as perennial champions, in celebration of their 50th independence, by purposely attempting to disqualify the competitors to garner more medals for themselves, but it backfired in their faces. These decisions were the most grotesque act of sabotage, I have ever seen from any host country. So with that said, I think two things should either happen: Jamaica disavowed itself from Carifta, or the Bahamas be banned from future hosting of the games…🤔

    1. ​@Nah, are you a Bahamian official? I am here reading the comments, and you are answering everyone. There are organizers and there are on the ground officials, the on the ground officials are Bahamian measuring the jump, they are the ones officiating the starts etc.

  12. Had to come home cause the longer they stayed the more medals would have chose to take back and DQ athletes. No one should be shocked if you hear by friday atleast 2 more Jamaicans were DQ and to send back the medals. By the way they have always been like this in the commentary but this year since they were not doing the commentary they did it in the officiating. The two Cariftas before it was in Jamaica atleast every 4×400 they would say the Jamaicans should be DQ.

  13. The officiating was way off. Never seen so many recalls long after the race is finished and so much use of starter discretion in favour of one nation. It was quite unusually and the complaints of all the change of schedule without notice etc was really bad. Let’s not do that again. These young athletes don’t need that stress

  14. I think we needed this a kick in our butt , why… To show that we should never expect to b loved out there in the disapora .. WE R THE ENVY OF THE REGION AND THE WORLD , NO I RESTATE THE WORLD, SO NO ONE LOVE US , THEY WANT TO SEE US FAIL WE NEED TO KEEP THAT FIRE IGNITED AND NEVER GET COMPLACENT AS THEY ALL OVER THE WORLD WANTS TO EAT OUR FOOD .. SO I DIDN’T EXPECT ANYTHING LESS FROM BAHAMAS..

    1. I promise u the “world” does not envy Out country, as a Jamaican we just victimize ourself too much because we think everyone hates us when it’s not true and from an outside look at things it a bad look for the ppl

    2. @Nah Hun I don’t knw why u thing that we r not envied u av first world countries that would ALOT to av the impact this little island people has had in track and field, entertainment culture .. what r u talking about.. we just need to stop thinking we r loved and going to be comfortable..NO IT WON’T.. AND KEEP EXCEEDING OUR EXPECTATIONS ..

    3. ​@Nah I lived in the Bahamas for about 25 years and I can honestly tell you that Bahamian people don’t like Jamaicans and are very envious even of their own.
