Jamaican Olympics Celebration Showed “Unity”
Let me say congratulations to all the athletes who participated in the 2012 Olympics. Ashton Eaton of the US won gold in the decathlon competition titled “World’s Greatest Athlete.” He won that title because he competed in 10 Events. However, the social network popularity goes to Usain Bolt and Jamaica. Usain Bolt and the Jamaican athletes as the British would say were having “A jolly good time.”
As Jamaican athletes unleashed their talent in London, England, for the 2012 Olympic Games. Many Jamaicans gathered in various central locations all across the island to show their support. Big screen TVs were place in central locations around the island. The celebration at Halfway Three Kingston drew traffic from downtown Kingston and all over St. Andrews and St. Catherine. Other huge celebrations continued around the island. Whether they were in Montego Bay, Trelawny, Port Antonio, Westmoreland or Ocho Rios the celebration was off the charts.
People Celebrated with Pride
People celebrated with their Proud culture.
The crowd went into frenzy as their athlete’s crosses the finish line. They were jumping for joy, blowing noise makers, screaming, and chanting the athlete’s names. As the excitement continued the celebration grew louder, which was very impressive. The message to all the athletes competing in the Olympics was simple. “We love every Jamaican, whether they came in first, second or last, we love them said way (equally).”
showing Love to their athletes
A proud lady borrowed a line from Bob Marley song “Bad Card”. The song says, “them a go tired fe see wi face, can’t get wi out a the race”. (Everyone is going to be tired of seeing our face. Yet they will not be able to keep him out of the race.”) Message to the world was simply that Jamaican will be competing at a high level for a long time. Yes, that was a true Yardie (Jamaican) speaking been braggadocios, with bragging rights for the 2012 Olympics. 
As usual we say Kudos to all our customers from all cultural background visiting Robin at “Ocho Rios Jerk Restaurant”. Located in Jenson Beach Florida. These folks in addition to patronizing the restaurant year-round, they truly embrace the Jamaican Culture. Throughout the Olympics, as they visit the restaurant, they were just as proud of all the athlete’s performance in London. As we say in Jamaica, “Thanks to All, One Love”.
