Commonwealth Games gold medalist Daniel Thomas-Dodd has blasted the Jamaica Olympic Association and Jamaica’s local track and field governing body the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) for what she describes as the lack of respect shown to field athletes at the expense of track athletes.
This on the morning when the depleted women’s 4 x 100 metres relay team was the only Jamaican participant to make progress in their event at the Paris Olympic Games.
Dodd who finished outside of qualification this morning after throwing the implement some 18.12 meters, did not mince words in her frustration about the treatment of field event athletes.
She vented her frustration when she spoke with Robert Williams in Paris
