Kishane Thompson’s 100m race result has sparked discussions about fairness, drawing comparisons to the infamous 1996 Olympic photo finish between Jamaica’s Merlene Ottey and the USA’s Gail Devers. That race was marked by a dramatic and controversial outcome, where the winner was determined by a mere fraction of a second, leaving many to question the accuracy of the decision and the fairness of the judging process

Similarly, Thompson’s recent race has led to debates over the reliability of timing systems and the potential for human error in determining such close finishes. With only a hair’s breadth separating the top competitors, these situations highlight the ongoing challenges in ensuring precision and equity in elite sprinting competitions, where even the slightest margin can have significant implications for an athlete’s career.

Despite Black Jamaicans forming the overwhelming majority, much of the nation’s wealth historically resides within a small number of families rooted in European, Middle Eastern, and mixed-heritage lineages.

  • Montego Bay Ascendant: Swallowtail Tower Tops Out, Cementing City’s Role as Jamaica’s New Development Leader

    Montego Bay, long established as the Caribbean’s premier tourism capital, is now boldly stepping forward to claim its title as a leader in integrated, high-end residential development. The city’s skyline has been irreversibly changed with the Official Topping-Out Ceremony of the Swallowtail Tower, the first of the four luxury residential towers at The Pinnacle. Reaching its final height of 28 stories, the tower now stands as the tallest building in Jamaica. Notably, even during its construction, the structure and its installed systems demonstrated absolute resilience against the fury of Hurricane Melissa, standing tall and virtually unscathed against the Category 5 winds. This monumental achievement not only solidifies Montego Bay’s structural progress but also signals its intent to become a primary hub for luxury living and diversified economic activity, challenging Kingston’s traditional dominance in non-tourism-centric development.
