  • Still not really sure how this happened but somehow I was invited to Jamaica with PUMA to experience all things Jamaican track and field. It was one of the best few days meet Usain Bolt and many other sprinting stars across a jam-packed trip to the Caribbean. If you enjoyed the video please consider subscribing to the channel.

Really pleased you are getting these amazing opportunities, so well deserved and soon be at a 100K subs, 😊
