In recent years, Jamaicans have dominated the 100 meters, the signature event in track and field. The roots of that domination go back nearly half a century, to a visit from legendary American coach Bud Winters. Winter’s scientific approach had a profound influence on then-young coach Glen Mills, now regarded as the world’s best sprint technician. Mills’s athletes, such as Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake, have elevated Jamaican sprinting to the top rung of the world’s sprint ladder.
