Consists of all the Races(100 metres, 200 metres, 400, 800, 1500, 5000, 10000 metres)
Hurdles (110 metres, 400 metres)
Relay (4x100 metres, 4x400 metres)
Jumping Events (High Jump, Long Jump, Triple Jump, Pole Vault)
Throwing Events (Shot Put, Discus Throw, Hammer Throw, Javelin Throw)
2. RaceWalking
3. RoadRunning
Usain Bolt, The Lightning Bolt with his signature "shh", has a low-grade torn hamstring. He got hurt while the qualifying heats for Olympics 2016 going to be held at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He tweeted about his condition later that day.
Yohan Blake who attended his first olympics in 2012 is one of the nominated athletes from Jamaica. Yohan came second and he commented that "he didn't mind finishing second", of course because of Bolt belonging to same nation and finishing first. Yohan beat Bolt in his trials for 2012 London Olympics but he was unable to do the same during the games itself and so grabbed a Silver(100m), Silver(200m) and Gold(4x100m).
The third Runner for Jamaica is going to be Nickel Ashmeade. All the three runners have a sprint time of less than 10 seconds.
Jimmy Vicaut of France clocked 9.86 seconds this year, that is 2 seconds earlier than bolt. He would also have eyes on him this year.
This was all for the Running events (men), we'll update soon for the rest. For more information about Olympics click > Olympics, from Beginning
