Taieke Haughton if they make the transition
Waiting for the dream team guys to crossed over Matherson, Seville, Tayor, Dejour. Those guys will soon dominate. They are very talented
Listen Nesta, if it had a beginning, then it stands to reason, there will be an ending.
Only salvation last forever!
Young Forte, it’s obvious you like the sport of athletics. However, I am beginning to think that you might be better off trying something else.
@Carol Jacqueline Brissett thanks
@Eleice Gordon yes
Is that Nesta Carter?
We still love u and proud of u carter
Nesta just a come… I agree he and Asafa no done yet
I didn’t realize Nesta Carter was still running. Hopefully Forte will get in form by outdoor. Him & Blake are some Jamaica’s few hopes in the Men’s short sprints.
I think Nesta Carter still have it in him to make Jamaica’s team to the Olympic Games this year. We don’t have any young men running at any time. Asafa Powell and Nesta Carter will be in Tokyo, even its the relay team dem ago mek it.
Dem yah young boy yah can’t cross it
It ok all the best carter and Jullian u guy time will shine
@Leighton Griffiths dem a jus 2?
