As Bolt streaked across the finish line to a thunderous ovation in the men’s 4×100-meter relay,
He symbolizes pride, he really symbolizes what Jamaica is all about. Bolt Grew up in humble circumstances and he rose above difficult situations.
Jamaicans are extremely proud to see a boy of the soil, not somebody who was born into wealth. This is a young man who came from a very small district in Trelawny. To see what he has accomplished, it is phenomenal.
Just to be here, to see history being made, I can’t tell you how that feels.
