What's behind Jamaica's sprinting prowess?

from FT News in Focus

Why does Jamaica, an island nation of just 2.7m, produce sprinters that so easily trounce those from richer, more populous nations? The FT's Murad Ahmed put the question to Usain Bolt shortly after he won his third 100m Olympic gold medal, and he tells John Burn-Murdoch how the athlete replied. Hosted on Acast.
