I'm from Jamaica. It's the belt of the Jamaican parent that makes them so fast
very funny sir
A chu
Lol i'm Jamaican too and you got that right
I outran my mom when she was about to punish me xD
😂😂😂👏👏👏
Jamar McFarlin no nigga it’s that jerk chicken
Fastest Kid-Jamaica
Fastest Man and human-Jamaica
Fastest Woman-Jamaica
2nd Fastest Man in the world-Jamaica(Yohan Blake)
DAAAMN
Fastest Car-Jamaica
LOL
Don't forget the 3rd fastest 100 meters Sprinter in the world is ASAFA POWELL = JAMAICA. Let me just sealed the facts, the fastest 4 x 4 relay athletics team on the planet is JAMAICA LOL.
Sorry, I made a mistake ASAFA POWELL is the 4th fastest on the planet. If I'm correct I think Tyson Gay would be 3rd.
From the Jamaican baby can creep that baby a run before them walk. We learn to walk cause when big brother, sister or parents Mek after us to punish us we put gas in a we foot and tek off.
What about yams they make jamiacians fast so.. Also jamician
In Jamaica there is a mini junior olympics every year, it is called Boys and Girls Champs!
WHO CARES?

i thought i was because we had to outrun our parents when we did bad....
In the UK over the last 30 years we have had numerous sprinters world class sprinters who if not born in the UK came to the UK at a very young age, among them Linford Christie, Dina Asha-Smith. Its the same in Canada where they is another Jamaican diaspora - who have produced Donovan Bailey and Atlee Mahorn among others. So its nothing to do with Jamaican soil, nor even the Boys and Girls Champs.
It’s got to do with west/central African genetics. Fast twitch muscles and anatomy, all inherited. Overwhelmingly men and women with this ancestry whether from u.s., Caribbean or Africa itself dominate the elite end of sprinting. Only a handful of non-black west African men have run under 10 seconds. Jamaica is also really into the sport so that along with a population more likely to have individuals with the basic inherited tools required to be elite, and this explains the results.
yet the fastest african ever is from east africa, who are known for long distance, not sprints@@dubiouswords7851
@@dubiouswords7851then why haven't west African people aren't the fastest consider they're more than likely 100 percent west African
@ThenNow what the genealogical circumstances that led them to miss the point of the video so badly?
No it’s just Jamaicans have good training and they eat a lot of natural food that benefits you.
genetics can’t be ignored
same as to why the worlds strongest men all come from a small region in northern europe

Yep it's the food
Of course genetics only won't make it by itself. But still, it can't be ignored
why are Jamaicans so fast? Because they train hard.
Shit logic
It has to be something else.
Yes
Sports Day Vibes Sis
Summer The Blossom exactly and we eat a lot of garden food and grung food like yam and green banana 😂
Diet while growing up is a big factor in certain athletics, but I never looked into running. I do know certain genes help take in certain nutrients that are better for some athletic sports.
how is this channel so small wtf is this, youtube must be broken again
Thank you! Please tell your friends :)
Will do keep up the great content, I can see this channel being very great in the future.
Zantarou Gaming I agree
We Jamaicans are just a different breed entirely
Please explain? That's a weird perspective for people living in this hemisphere. Many of our ancestors arrived on the same ships both above and below deck.
😂😂👌
It's your west African genetics, all west Africans built different because of fast twitch genetics
You would be lying to yourself if you actually believe that stupidness!
Y'all ain't no different than nobody else just like America produces great basketball players and football players
Jamaican pride and training is at the top of Jamaican athletes success.
THIS IS PURE NONSENSE. WHAT ATHLETES BESIDES RUNNING 100-200 METERS,? OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE NOT GOOD AT ANYTHING ELSE IF THEY ARE SO GREAT.. WHY CAN'T THEY ENDURE, RETAIN THAT SPEED FOR UP TO 400 METERS. THE SPEED STOPS AT 200 METERS?? SO IF SOMEONE WAS CHASING THEM, THEY WOULD BE CAUGHT REALLY EASY, AS OPPOSED TO A 400 METER RUNNER, THE PURSUER WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM TO CATCH UP. WHICH ONE IS THE REAL/BETTR ATHLETE? YOU DO THE MATH. THIS VODEO IS COMPLETE BS.
BRAGGING ABOUT 2-3 FEMALES [ALL YOU HAVE}. AND THINK THE WORLD IS SUPPOSED TO BE SO IMPRESSED
Lol. Yes. Other countries don't have that
🤣🤣🤣
The Jamaican doping system is second to none. Of the five fastest Jamaicans of all time, Bolt, Mullings, Nesta Carter, Blake and Powell, all except Bolt were caught doping.
Agreed. Bolt was also on drugs but he was protected. He was the golden boy of sprinting, the biggest name in athletics people loved his charisma and he was making people a ridiculous amount of money, so it’s not interest of the doping agencies to bust him. If they did their money supply will be cut and track and field will never recover look at what happened to cycling after the Lance Armstrong revelation He also beat the chemically enhanced record of Ben Johnson 9.79 in his WR 9.58. And out of the 30 fastest time he beat other drug abusers: Gatlin, Gay, Blake, Powell which is impossible. Im glad somebody knows what’s up. Bolt was an ordinary athlete and made unbelievable improvements in one year. He goes from a 10.03 to 9.69, and 19.9 to 19.3. Nothing changed in his training instead, he decided alongside with his coach is time to hop on the juice 💉. He also made these massive improvements because there was no testing done in Jamaica until 2017. This is why all these records started falling in Jamaica in the first place. Asafa broke the world record twice, then bolt comes breaking it
@@Samuel-xj4ojbolt was never on drugs but if that helps u to cope i dont blame you i mean i would be hurt to see such a tiny island have the fastest man and woman ever while my country is so big and worthless 🤣 flo jo or whatever her name was she was on drugs elaine is the fastest woman ever
@@Samuel-xj4ojlie, thats something ppl in your country made up to feel better and discredit hard work
Kenya has the best distance runners too.
A lot of Kenyans come directly from hunter lineage, and if you dont know the way humans are built to hunt is to continuously run for hours until the animal is so exhausted it cant move or passes out. Humans have some of the best stamina in the animal kingdom. (with using legs)

Not gonna mention the fact that some west Africans that had the sickle cell trait (which is sickle shaped blood cells) actually made them more immune to malaria, and also makes fast twitch muscles stronger... but it also may cause blood clots due to its odd shape
Jamaica also loves track and sprinting the most out of all the sports! I’d argue..
Thats also a factor, jamaicans are naturally gifted at running but a majority their focus is on track.

It has nothing to do with any of the myths put forward in this video. Jamaica, just like other sports powerhouses like China and Russia that pump out astonishing gymnasts one after the other, starts training potential sprinters from a very young age. It starts out with kids as young as 6 years when every primary school on the island has a "sports day". You're divided into "houses" (mostly named after colors), and for every year in primary school there's fierce racing competition between the houses. This is where the first racing potentials are recognized and encouraged. The real work starts when the kids then move on to high school and have to compete in Boys & Girls Champs (short for championships). This is equivalent to college football in the US, with the only difference that it's a fierce and merciless competition at the high school level. You start high school at about 12 or 13 in Jamaica, which continues to about the age of 18, and during that time the best sprinters are trained and drilled with military precision. The highlight of their training is the yearly Boys & Girls Champs which is broadcast nationally and followed with twice the enthusiasm Americans have for college football or basketball. It is as this stage that the older kids, aged 17 or 18, get introduced to the world as they embark on their first international competitions. At this tender age they're already far more advanced in their technique and training that their American and other international colleagues, who start their serious training at the college level.
So sorry, it has nothing to do with magical yams or mythical genes. If other countries employed the same training regime, they'd also be getting the same results as Jamaica. Just as how Russia starts training their ballet dancers and gymnasts at the age of 6.
It has something to with genetics. Jamaica is making the most of its populations genetic gifts with the identification and training of elite sprinters as early as possible. Less gifted with quick twitch muscle fibre populations like say my south Asian people (Indian/Pakistani/Sri Lanka) don’t stand a chance even if they had the best training imaginable.
@@dubiouswords7851 I'm not so sure about that. The South African sprinter, Wayde van Niekerk, is a current world record holder, and I believe he's of South Asian descent. There are also a number of very promising Japanese and Chinese sprinters.
@@CurtisCT i am sure of it. That South African sprinter is a Cape Coloured, mixed race people from the western cape and has Xhosa and Bantu African genetics with probably nominal other ancestry. Japanese and Chinese are better suited to sprinting than any Indian type. The south Asian top 100 time is 10.16, which is way off from elite times. It’s inconceivable that genetics do not matter but of course it’s not all that matters: need motivation, training, etc. But the prerequisite for elite potential in sprinting is in your genes.
@@dubiouswords7851 I have serious doubts about such an unscientific theory. It's far more likely that South Asians do not excel at sprinting because of poor training and a lack of commitment and investment from the government.
@@CurtisCT physical training can only take you so far. Talent sometimes you are born with it. Not everyone can be a Messi or Ronaldo one is gifted the other worked hard for his. It requires years like you said to refine those skills but it goes far beyond just hard work.
If that’s the case everyone would be good at everything and that’s not the case!
I like the soil and yams theory .... it’s makes sense
WE{AMERICANS} DO TOO, YOU LOOK IT UP, WE ARE INTO MORE THAN JUST SPRINTING. BY-THE WAY, NOT ONE JAMIACAN HAS MORE MEDALS IN TRACK THAN WE DO, CARL LEWIS HAS 10, AND ALLYSON FELIX HAS 11, MAYBE THEY ATE YAMS GROWN IN RICH SOIL TOO, OR IS THAT THEORY COMPLETE BS? JUST SAYIN................................
I am Jamaican it’s because we have experience form running from the leather belt
Right Louise
It mostly stems from government spending to improve the lives of our athletes, in Trinidad the government invested in a cycling velodrome and our cycling athletes have been doing us proud on an international stage.
Before watching, all the foods they have.
this became a white guy savior video real quick
Sprinting is not an aerobic activity.
I was born in Jamaica living there for 10 year moved to Canada I was the fastest in my school now I'm 13
Yam, Saltfish, Dumplings ( Boiled, please…) Festival, Ackee and Callaloo for breakfast.
Oh, boiled green banana!
And when Breadfruit is ripened and Mango is ready…you steady and you go!
Innate, innit!
🇯🇲🙏🏽🇯🇲🙏🏽
That sounds delicious
Along with genetics the fact that being a successful sprinter is a way out of poverty which helps the motivation, the most important part of a runners improvement.
Cause we black 🖤🖤🖤❤️❤️💛💛💚💚🖤🖤😂
yeah but not all black people are fast. it's specifically jamaicans.
@@josie3221 yup like kevin heart
@@josie3221 and americans
It’s clearly the slavery aspect that’s why Americans and Trinidadians make top 10 aswell
Shut up
The reason why Jamacians are so fast is because they all have the homozygous sprinter variant of the ACTN-3 gene. This gene is responsible for producing a protein that creates muscular power.
I have a Jamacian mom and a american dad, but I run really fast. Most of my mums side is Jamacian. I just wanted to watch this for an explanation ,-,
ALL those explanations except one have no baring on our sprinting success.
Let me explain why we are so fast.
Jamaicans are no faster than anyone anywhere else, we are just better at finding the great athletes.
Wee ones at basic schools have a championship and the selection begins there. They then go on to primary schools where the schools all have intra house championships. The successful ones then go on to a national schools championship. High schools have the same system.
The result is that we always find the very best that are available. We are the only country with this comprehensive a selection process and therein lies the secret to our success.
jussayin mipeece this is very interesting comment. I heard the Jamaican coach for Olympics i think was very good at finding the most talented. Also being a a olympic level sprinter is 100% based on anatomy. If u had a good eye for finding it then training multiple athletes you'd be up there making top level sprinters
Was about to comment this, Jamaicans love sprinting, it's your culture, its what your known for, just like england will more likely find good footballers because its there sport.
Don't forget Donovan Bailey who I think is the 6th fastest man ever, who competes for Canada, but is a Jamaican.
Also, you totally forgot the women. The 2nd and 3rd fastest women ever are Jamaicans, Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
you fi get say fast-lane-Elaine mash up flo jo record and is now the fastes woman alive. Kockup gal kockup in the name of Jesus.
Don’t forget the fastest British runner currently zharnel hughes Jamaican parents
I was surprised he didn't mention them.
I've been running from i was in basic school ! 3 years old , and every year since then i'm 20 years today.. upcoming athlete . mostly because yea the food and the love for running
HD Keemii whats your times for your races?

Dude Anything no one asked

Jamaicans are fast because their food is cleaner as apposed to American poison food.. Their diet is vegetable and fruit heavy as apposed to the American meat heavy diet. Their muscles are carrying a lighter body mass than an over meat eaten body mass American. They don't have worry about digging through poison food trying to figure our if the labels are lieing to them or not while shopping either. Their home grown gardens are not being sprayed by chem trail vegetation contaminants either.
Its genetics
1. Genetics
2. Diet
3. Training
4. Technique
5. Mindset
(Breakdown)
1:
- Development of good metabolic "economy/efficiency" based on somatotype and lower limb characteristics.
- Relatively high hemoglobin and hematocrit.
- Favorable skeletal-muscle-fiber composition and oxidative enzyme profile
- Fast Twitch Muscles
- Longer Limbs
- Greatly Developed Fascia
2. Natural Jamaican Holistic Cuisine which supports digestoon, energy And The limfatic system.
3. Development of a high maximal oxygen uptake as a result of extensive walking and running at an early age.
4.
- Perfect Posture
- Trained Lower Body
- Trained Fascia
- Mid Sole Running
- Foot Strike Underneath Your Body
5. Desire to win the race for their country, family or to achieve anything by herself.
Why do other nations want to come with these lame reasons why we are the most talented. It has nothing to do with the food or the soil. You can give a Japanese man Sweet potoes all you want they will never be fast as blacks. Don't matter if they are from America or Jamaica it's the same people. We are just gifted.
There was another video on the reasoning and I thing that video has a stronger point. As genetics, health, and environment can be huge factors, culture is a definitely the biggest factor. Why dont we see more black tennis players, it is because black people in the US are more culturally drawn to basketball and football. Listen to any hip hop song and the top sports mentioned is 1. Basketball, 2. Football, 3. Boxing. Coincidentally those are the sport with a large black participation. Jamaica's sport culture revolves around sprinting. Sprinting is bigger than soccer which is rare for a Caribbean country.
I think he touched on that with the last point.
How come there was no mention of the sprint cultural which surrounds Jamaican life? What about the hours of hard work, dedication and sacrifice needed to be an elite athlete? Ummmm not sure how I'm feeling about this video now.....
American football is trash in other countries
Football [soccer] is very popular in Jamaica too and cricket as well
I’m half Jamaican and I was always the quickest in primary school but then in high school I wasn’t so quick until I went through puberty. But for some reason I’ve always been really strong compared to everyone
Me too I’m 3/4 Jamaican but I have lighter skin because my dad is Persian and in elementary school and faster than all the six graders by a mile
Must be like flying to run like that... Running for me was like I had a shopping bag in each hand.
Donovan Bailey, Lynford Christie, and so on...Jamaicans
the heart thing has to be true because most persons I know including myself can relate to it being enlarged
i think its genes and the slave trade allowing with the fact running is a more economic sport to maintain and facilitate and because of this more training was applied in this area . nb not discrediting good training but even in building muscle there are genetic advantages that some ppl can have to give them that extra push
Nah it's not the slave trade. That one has been debunked
It's about drive, motivation, and training. Jamaica has 14 of the top 100 performers in the men's 100m (5 in the top 9 alone). Not to be racial, but people of sub-Sahara African decent tend to be faster sprinters. There are exceptions, but overall this is the way it is. Now Jamaica has only 0.26% of the global black population, yet they have 14% of the top 100 men's 100m sprinters. The U.S. has 46% of the top 100, but only 4.1% of the global population. But on the other hand, the entire continent of Africa only has 12% of the top 100, yet it has 86% of the global black population. There is a LOT of untapped talent in Africa. I bet there is someone in Africa now who doesn't even run track but with the right drive, motivation, and training can probably run a 9.4.
And genetics
Yall I also have a very laid back anti-doping system,lol
2:35 hair still fresh af
The landscape and topology as well as the diet is very similar to Jamaica . Yet Jamaica produces a disportinately higher number of track stars. It is therefore common sense to put it down to a system know as the " Boys and Girls Champ which is like the Olympics.
Fam we just different
jamican dad and half nevis half english mum, very fast for a kid my age
It's genetics, Jamaica was the last island of the Caribbeans where the slave boats landed so only the strongest survived the journey. Also, that mixed with local Arawak indians (high red blood cell count due to living at high altitude) mixed in with some British, Chinese and a few other ethnicities for a length of time has given them natural genetic strengths along with the natural body building foods which grow e.g. Yam, plantain, breadfruit, fish etc.. They are very well built for explosive speed.
descent
I am of Jamaican descent I wish I had that fast gene...lol

Lemme tell you why. I'm Jamaican I would know. The "most rebellious "slaves"" were brought to Jamaica cuz the slavery there was the hardest and roughest. So when a Jamaican runs that's their ancestors running to freedom with them..making them so fast.
Go back to school.
I descend from the most worthless at sports like sprinting people, south Asians. I am so jealous of west and central African descended people and in particular Afro-Jamaicans who tend to have the most amount of people with the genetic gifts for extreme speed. It’s simply amazing.

I believe it is a combo of running from the belt and amazing fresh island air with fabulous cuisine (sea food, vegetables, and so many tropical fruits and beautiful music). Big Ups people. 👍👍
What kinda yam was that though
Take 2.7M black people and tell them to focus all of their energy on one sport; you'll get the same result
Not all said here is true the only thing I’ll agree with is the food we eat the main reason we are fast is our rigorous track and field programs we have from primary level to pro and the hours of training the athletes put in.
Great work trying to solve how we are so fast
Jamaica has a lax steroid testing program
labyrinthodont 6 how disrespectful and that is certainly not true
Usain Bolt was one of the most tested athletes ever!!!
Lol 😂. My theory is that they all watched cool runnings. They’re afraid if they don’t make it as a sprinter they’ll be sent someplace cold.

It is the Yam and dumplings!
Rice and Peas, the speed is because of Ackee and Saltfish. I've studied its scientific. The Scott Bonnet in the Jerk also give you speed. I did my research in the London schooling of science it's true.

I have a reason why? Jamaicans are from the tribe of Benjiman. They were the warriors who protected the priest. God has blessed the Jamaicans with incredible athletic ability because warriors need that to conquer their enemies. It's a spiritual thing.
Noisy Light everything about us are blessed: we got very good vocals and creativity is extremely over the top. We are just different.

It's not about Jamaican, it's about black people period. 99% of Black people have the actn3 rr alle gene. Also culture. For example, the USA have a basketball culture so therefore they have the best basketball players and teams.
