Media swarm Jamaican camp

BIRMINGHAM, England – Anybody with anything to do with Jamaica is fair game for media interviews as the massive media presence here await interviews with the athletes.

Jamaican High Commissioner Aloun Asamba and even members of the Jamaican media here have been inundated with request for interviews.

A large contingent of American journalists are here and understandably everyone is asking whether sprint superstar Usain Bolt will make an appearance.

So far long jumper Demar Forbes, sprint hurdler Hansle Parchment and 400m runners Ryker Hilton and Errol Nolan have been taken to the media area for interviews.
