Navtej Kohli looking very closely to every game and players performance . Navtej Kohli noticed its be custom to break old record specially in Race or even athletics . Now Beijing Olympics booming with many records.
Jamaica three faster females runner names Trailblazers Shelly-Ann Fraser, Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart astonished everybody after their combining efforts to win gold-silver-silver sweep of the Women's 100-metre finals on date 17- August-2008 and applauded 2.8 million populated Jamaica
Although America had sent his complain to IAAF regarding false starting of the Race by one of three participants but application had discharged and no indiscipline had noticed by Olympics society and Now Jamaica female racer will be awarded as Gold medal
"The Jury of Appeal received a protest from the US team who claimed that Torri Edwards moved when she was in the blocks and the starter did not call back the athletes, so the jury is examining the protest," The observer had been informed by Anna Legnani IAAF's deputy director of communications but after reviewing all the footage the complain had rejected.
IAAF leads head Nick Davis had announced that "The latest is that the protest lodged by the Americans has been rejected," .he also stated that “On the grounds that they (jurors of appeal) checked the evidence, they spoke with the starter; they looked at the video and determined it was a fair start," Davis also announced for gold medal distribution evening.
America filed a complain after one hour while Fraser did their lifetime best perform in the race and took only 10.78 seconds for 100 meter race and win first ever gold for Jamaica Olympics gold medal and made a history , leading the sweep with Simpson and Stewart clocking identical 10.98 seconds in a dead-heat for silver.
The American were very disappointed after, due to failure to win gold medal in 100 meter woman race , its be seventh time only in Olympics history while America had loose to win Gold medal following 1948, 1952, 1956, 1972, 1976, and 1980.
Ludlow Watt , Manager of Jamaica's 52-member track and team was very disappointed after knowing America complain over that and told to media that “he was not surprised by the jurors' ruling.” Watt also told while addressing the Jamaican team member that "What is important is that at the end of the day we have our medals and Jamaica is proud and the athletes got the results of their hard work, so the ruling is not really surprising because I didn't expect the protest to be successful," one important point is to be noticed that no other team in the world achieved this target specially for woman athletics team. But its achieved by man athletics twice in the Olympics history , first time in 1906 in 100m race for man by the USA at the Athina Games (Archie Hahn, Nate Cartmell and Williams Hogendon) and the second time in the 1912 Stockholm (Ralph Craig, Alvah Meyer and Donald Lippincott).

Olivia Grange, minister of sports Jamaica, , who was among the scores of Jamaicans who were deprived of the happiness of hearing the national anthem being played twice in one day at these Olympics, expressed joy at the jurors' ruling , and he told the observer about his feelings that "I don't want to call the Americans poor losers, so what I'll do right now is to continue to be positive and continue to feel excited and to feel pride in the athletes and in our country".
The Stephen Francis-coached Fraser, who had the second to last worst reaction time to the starter's gun, took control of the race at the 30-metre mark and romped to an impressive victory.

The former Wolmer's High School star shaved 0.07secs off her previous personal best of 10.85 established while placing second at Jamaica's Olympic Trials in June. That time made Fraser, who grew up in the often volatile inner-city community of Waterhouse in Kingston, the second fastest Jamaican woman of all time behind Merlene Ottey (10.74sec).
"It was the performance of my life time," the excited Fraser confessed. "The only pressure on me was to go out there and execute, so I felt no pressure," added the sprinter, who won a World Championship relay silver in Osaka last year. She ran in the heats.
By taking the Olympic 100m title, Fraser achieved what Ottey and no other Jamaican woman ever did. Ottey owns one silver (1996) and two bronze (1984 and 2000) in the 100m. The bronze at the 2000 Sydney Games was an upgrade from her fourth place finish after American Marion Jones was disqualified for doping.
Juliet Cuthbert copped silver in 1992, while Tayna Lawrence and Veronica Campbell-Brown won silver and bronze medals respectively from the 2000 and 2004 editions.
Earlier in the evening session, Jamaica's national anthem reverberated around the 91,000 capacity Bird's Nest Stadium as Usain Bolt collected his gold medal for winning the Men's 100m in a new Olympic and World record time of 9.69secs.
