The land of Usain Bolt is racking up medals in field events, including Olympic discus gold

Jamaica, known for producing elite sprinters like Usain Bolt and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, has become a field-event power with Roje Stona's gold in the discus throw at the 2024 Olympics. Stona set an Olympic record with his throw of 70 meters, following silvers for Wayne Pinnock in the men's long jump and Shanieka Ricketts in the women's triple jump. Jamaica's sprinters have only one medal so far in Paris.
