Jamaican sprinters dominate as Shelly-Ann Fraser heads clean sweep in Beijing


From left: Shelly-Ann Fraser, Kerron Stewart, Sherone Simpson

Monday August 18th, 2008: Beijing, China - Jamaicans celebrations continue as 21-year-old Shelly-Ann Fraser won gold in the 100 metres at the Beijing Olympics on Sunday in a time of 10.78 seconds. She was followed by teammates Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart (both tied for second place). It took a photograph to determine that Simpson and Stewart had dead-heated for silver medals in 10.98 seconds.

Yesterday's historic race marks the first time in Olympic history that a single country has swept the gold, silver and bronze medals in the 100metre. Not since the US Olympic team of 1912 has any one country dominated in this event.

Jamaican celebrations had already began only 24 hours prior, when Usain Bolt broke his own world record to take Jamaica's first gold in the men's 100metre in unique style. Fraser's win, along with her fellow Jamaican teammates, brings the Jamaican medal tally to four overall (two gold, two silver) so far.

Bolt celebrates, it's dancing time!

Olympic 100 metre champion and world record holder, Usain Bolt has made dancing a hobby. According to the Jamaica Gleaner, Bolt rarely missed a party at the popular Quad nightclub in Kingston, Jamaica and introduced the world to the sweep version of 'Nuh Linga', just after his world and Olympic record run of 9.69 seconds.

'Nuh Linga' in Standard English means 'don't waste time', and is a popular Jamaican dance created by a dance group called Ravers Clavers

Bolt, who has celebrated his wins with dances, also gave a glimpse of 'To the World', a dance, composed by RDX. He later told journalists, "I just like to have fun. I like dancing."

In his first Olympic outing in Athens, 2004, Bolt gave a glimpse of Bogle's dance, 'Oh So Badly'.

A Video clip of Bolt's 'Nuh Linga' dance is available on youtube at... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=n6Snu0zgE3s

Jamaica's Usain Bolt shatters 100-metre record to win Olympic gold

Sunday August 17th, 2008: Beijing, China - Jamaica's Usain Bolt annihilated the field, running an amazing 9.69 seconds in the 100-metre sprint to set a new world record and take Olympic gold at Bird's Nest Stadium in Beijing on Saturday night.

Bolt, who turns 22 on Thursday, exploded ahead of the pack and even took time to celebrate with his arms out with several metres left.

Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago won silver at 9.89, with Walter Dix of the United States taking bronze. Dix, an NCAA champion just out of school at Florida State, ran 9.91. Churandy Martina of Netherlands Antilles was fourth at 9.93.

Canadian Donovan Bailey's long-standing Olympic record fell as a result of the race in front of over 90,000. Bailey of Oakville, Ont., ran to gold in 9.84 at the 1996 Atlanta Games. Bailey symbolically placed an imaginary crown on Bolt's head after the race. Bailey said the sky's the limit for the sprinter, who gave Jamaica its first ever gold in the event. "He can absolutely run sub 9.6," said Bailey.

"I never knew how fast I was going," said Bolt. "One aim was just to win and do what I have to do." When asked about his celebration before the finish line, which may have cost him some time, Bolt said he was concerned about winning more than running the fastest possible. "Better to break it smaller than bigger, I would say," he said. "[Then] you have a next time to break it."
The other men competing in the final, in order of finish were: Michael Frater of Jamaica, Marc Burns of Trinidad and Tobago, and Darvis Patton of the U.S.

Bolt is expected to capture yet another gold in the 200metre race on Wednesday.

Toronto, ON, Friday June 13, 2008 - TORONTO-LIME.com and Mr PlayHouse Entertainment have announced the venue for the '5TH ANNUAL BIKER BOYZ BLOCKO'. The annual event which attracts hundreds of motorcycle enthusiasts and thousands of spectators takes place at the PALAZZO ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX parking lot (located at 99 Peelar Rd, off Jane St, North of Highway 407in Vaughan) on Sunday July 27th 2008.

The event is free to the public and runs from 2pm-11pm and will feature motorcycle stunt rider crew STUNTERS INC (http://www.stuntersinc.com/, Caribbean music, live performances, food, raffles, prizes and more.

Last years event was a hugh hit and was even featured on MTV Live and Driver Magazine. "2007 was insane! We literally took up entire block, actually maybe two." says Jef (event coordinator from TORONTO-LIME.com). "Palazzo is about three times the size of last year's venue, the surface is clean (for the riders) and is away from any residential housing, so we can make as much noise as we want."

Proceeds from 'De Biker Boyz Blocko' will go to the Tribal Knights Mas Group to assist in the purchase of materials for their 2008 CARIBANA presentation.

Sponsors of the '5th Annual Biker Boyz Blocko' include http://www.tribalknights.com/, VP Records, Palazzo Nightclub, The Printing Press, The Caribbean Camera, WE Magazine, StarStruck Show, KOS.com, RogerDey.com, ClearSilver GrafX, Speedy Pickering, Island Sounds, Soca Bookings, http://www.dbandit.com/, http://www.courtjesteronline.com/, CHIN Radio (100.7FM), WorldWide (89.5FM), http://www.picsbyrich.com/, Ian Andre Espinet Entertainment, SocaTherapy.com, Conrads Barber Shop, Island Explosion (105.5FM), SocaSweetness.com.

Mas in Yuh Rass... who to jump with?

Over the past weekend, two more big bands launched their presentations (Saldenah Mas-K & Evolution Toronto) and either did not dissappoint.

With only a couple Mas Bands still left to launch (including Mas Toronto & Toronto Caribbean Connection; launching this weekend - June 7), Toronto revellers not only have a vast selection to choose from, but will have the difficult task of deciding who they should 'JUMP UP' with.

Masqueraders usually factor in several elements before making a decision on who they should 'chip' down the Lakeshore with; including cost, music on the road and parade position.

Below is the most updated listing of Mas Bands along with all their details. Most bands today are 'All-Inclusive', but of course as you may know it is illegal to advertise such perks in Ontario. You may wish to inquire with your bandleader and section leader before registering.

Also listed below are the Steelbands performing at the parade. Click on the link to view contact info if you wish to particpate or visit the panyards.
