Jamaica’s Dominance Continues With 200-Meter Win

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING (AP) -- It was Jamaica Night again at the Bird's Nest, this time with Veronica Campbell-Brown doing the honors, easily winning the 200 meters Thursday to cap the first sweep of all four men's and women's Olympic sprints in 20 years.
The defending Olympic champion routed Allyson Felix of the United States in 21.74 seconds to win the gold by 0.19 seconds.

Reggae music filled the stadium -- is the CD worn out yet? -- as Campbell-Brown celebrated with her country's flag, much the way Usain Bolt did with his world record-setting wins in the 100 and 200 and the way the Jamaican women did when they swept the 100.

This marked the first time one country swept all four races at an Olympics since the United States did it in 1988.

Fittingly, a few moments after Campbell-Brown's victory, Bolt accepted the gold medal he won the night before in a ceremony that was postponed a day because of protests over the second- and third-place finishers.

Jamaicans left no doubt about who's first in these races.

Campbell-Brown's blowout -- a two-body-length victory -- made her the first woman to win back-to-back 200s since 1980. No man has ever repeated in the 200. Campbell-Brown's 21.74 marked the fastest time in the women's 200 in a decade.

Felix won her second Olympic silver in this, a carbon copy of their 1-2 finish at the Athens Games. Jamaica's Kerron Stewart finished third, adding to the silver medal she won when she tied Sherone Simpson in Jamaica's sweep of the 100.

Campbell-Brown came in as the defending world champion in the 100 but shockingly failed to qualify for that race, her spot instead going to Shelly-Ann Fraser, who won it Sunday night.

It was yet another sign of the amazing depth being produced on the Caribbean island of 2.8 million people -- a country that has never had trouble producing great athletes but has often had trouble keeping them there. Campbell-Brown, in fact, trains in Florida, but still competes for her home country.
