From Asafa Powell to Usain Bolt, & Yohan Blake: How Jamaicans and its sports authority have let down their legends
Following the recent outburst from Asafa Powell on Jamaican sports authorities, this article details how Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake have also openly called out on the same issue about being let down.
Ofili officially kicked off her season last weekend racing in the 200m at the Tom Jones Invitational, where she finished second in 22.34s behind Olympic champion Julien Alfred's world-leading time of 21.88s.
Despite not winning the race, her time was good enough to place her joint fourth-fastest in the world list this season, showing she's in good shape to lower her time as the season progresses.

This time around in Kingston, the Paris Olympic finalist will likely compete in the 100m against a respectable field that includes training partners Aleia Hobbs and home favourite Alana Reid.
Meanwhile, Amusan will also likely race in her trademark event - the 100mH having made her season's debut last month in the 100m at the Velocity Fest 16 in Kingston, winning in a time of 11.28s.

However, the world record holder's next race will be at the Xiamen Diamond League on April 26th, where she's listed in the 100mH against a stacked field comprising of the world's best hurdlers.
Other top stars in the early entry list for the Racers Grand Prix are Jamaica's 100m king Kishane Thompson, Olympic 100mH champion Masai Russell, and USA's sprint sensation Jacious Sears.
