Sprint fever as Jamaicans go for clean sweep of medals


KINGSTON (Reuters) - It hasn't been done for 100 years, but three Jamaican men hope to make history at the London Olympics next Sunday, equalling a feat by the island's women sprinters in Beijing four years ago.

The Caribbean nation of less than 3 million people will come to a virtual standstill at 4:50 p.m. local time (2150 GMT) as Jamaicans turn their attention to the final of the 100-meter dash, featuring some of the fastest men in the world.
