The Jamaica national athletics team represents a small Caribbean nation that has become one of the most dominant forces in world sprinting, producing athletes including Usain Bolt, the world record holder and multiple Olympic champion in the 100 and 200 meters, along with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Yohan Blake. Jamaica has regularly outperformed far larger and wealthier countries at the Olympics and World Athletics Championships in sprint events, a phenomenon widely studied in sports science and attributed to a combination of talent identification, training culture and genetics.
