Sign of patriotismA majority of the fans appeared to be dressed in green and gold colours of the Jamaica national flag. Some waved the Jamaican flag. The Jamaican National Anthem was sung during a rain delay and reggae music blared on the public address system. The field which paired Bolt against Gay in a major pre-lympic Games clash appeared nervous. There was a false start against American Mike Rodgers. The second attempt to run Saturday’s race was aborted when the runners stood up in the blocks. n the third attempt Bolt got a searing start and Gay never threatened.
