I would have really done well with two dutch pot covers in the mixed zone last night.

Sure I would have created a real racket, and it's most likely that a few of my colleagues would have been a bit peeved, but that was the celebration that last night's 200m medal sweep deserved, an authentic Jamaican one.

We couldn't find any zinc fence to beat down or any clappers to light, so we jumped around and displayed our elation on a few tables in the media area, as colleagues came over and shook our hands and offered congratulations.

Congrats to all three gentlemen for their achievements but allow me to express particular commendation to Warren Weir, who, though unknown to most prior to now, never lost faith and drive, pushing home for a deserved bronze medal.

Bolt is the legend he has long desired to be (regardless of what Mr Rogge thinks) and Blake continues to make his first Olympic Games a memorable one.

But those two have been there and done it before. Weir on the other hand, only took up this 200m thing a year ago after an injury prevented him from training and competing in the 110m hurdles.

For him to do what he did inside the London Olympics Stadium last night not only further underlines the abilities of our local coaches (Like Bolt and Blake, Weir is coached by Glen Mills at Racers Track Club) and highlights the strength of our JAAA/Supreme Ventures Limited National Senior Championships.

I caught up with myself bucking on the bus the other night and as a colleague of mine said, after so many hours and days travelling back and forth and running around, covering the Olympics itself could have been an Olympic sport.
