Usain Bolt has for some time put the sprint shoes on the shelf. If we look at the medal league so far in the World Cup, the nation does not seem to suffer too much from the fact that the superstar no longer competes. Jamaica is in fourth place in the medal league after two gold, three silver and two bronze.
For the bullpen O'Dayne Richards, the championship ended in minor. The Jamaican missed the bull finals after a failed qualification.
After all, Richards is a backbone for the nation and has competed with Bolt. Richards says there is no absence of the sprint king.
"We have new world stars growing up, we are not heading down," Jamaica's bullet striker O'Dayne Richards told SVT Sport.
Shericka Jackson won the bronze at 400 meters and admits that the nation has been spoiled during the time with Bolt.
- Bolt gave the Jamaicans three golds at each championship, so the nation has been spoiled. But we have done pretty well and we have good self-confidence about where we are as a nation, Jackson tells SVT Sport.
Worth noting is that Sweden is in a split ninth place after the night's bronze is underway.
