Official media reports out of Beijing China, have stated that the US Olympic team officials are protesting the Jamaica female upset that occurred a few hours ago at the Bird’s Nest stadium.

The Americans lodged two protests, one claiming that they should receive the bronze medal after Jamaica’s Sherone Simpson and Keron Stewart tied for silver. However based on IOC rules that protest was thwarted and almost immediately they lodged a second protest claiming a false start and demanded that the race be re-run.

Word out of Beijing, have stated that the Jamaican female upset has sent the American camp into frenzy, and they are now preparing a war room to combat the very obvious Jamaican win.

The small island nation of 2.8 million people, have shut the Americans out of medal contention in the 100m men’s and now the 100m women, and this melee might be interpreted as a desperate attempt to undermine the Jamaican squad and de-motivate the Jamaican contingency which has become the darlings of Beijing.
More to come....
