Shelly-Ann Fraser and Kerron Stewart went one-two in the women's 100 meters on Monday, leaving no doubt as to which country has the world's fastest humans just 24 hours after Usain Bolt decimated the world record in the men's hundred. On the same track, Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva, the sport's female athlete of the year in three of the past five years, no-heighted, allowing Poland's Anna Rogowska to capture a surprise gold medal and U.S. vaulter Chelsea Johnson to sneak in for a silver.Mon, 17 Aug 2009 23:43:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/brian_cazeneuve/08/14/track.field/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/brian_cazeneuve/08/14/track.field/index.htmlThe IAAF World Championships in track and field kick off on Saturday morning in Berlin and run through Sunday Aug. 23.

Midnight came and went as they rode through the trapped fog and odd yellow light of the New Jersey Turnpike. They drank Red Bull and played home-burned mixes of reggae and dance hall. Beenie Man might have been on as they passed Exit 7A, or Damian Marley at a Delaware pit stop; nobody was paying too close attention. In the trunk, more reminders of home: flat wood cricket bats and a mishmash of white uniforms made of nylon and polyester, laundered in hot water but still bearing the stains of past games.Thu, 30 Oct 2008 17:10:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/weather/08/29/gustav/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/weather/08/29/gustav/index.html#cnnSTCTextHurricane Gustav picked up strength as it moved over the northwestern Caribbean Sea Friday night, pursuing a projected path aimed at the Gulf Coast.Wed, 03 Sep 2008 03:06:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/weather/08/28/gustav/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/weather/08/28/gustav/index.html#cnnSTCTextTropical Storm Gustav struck Jamaica with pounding rain and winds just short of hurricane strength Thursday night, and Haitian officials raised their death toll from the storm to more than 50.Fri, 29 Aug 2008 04:00:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/weather/08/27/gustav/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/weather/08/27/gustav/index.html#cnnSTCTextTropical Storm Gustav left 22 dead in Haiti and the Dominican Republic before it pulled away from the countries Wednesday, officials said.Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:36:00 EDThttp://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1836939,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicshttp://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1836939,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicsThe New Orleans area watched as a storm marched across the Caribbean on the eve of Hurricane Katrina's third anniversaryThu, 28 Aug 2008 11:00:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/olympics/2008/writers/david_epstein/08/23/track/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/olympics/2008/writers/david_epstein/08/23/track/index.htmlBEIJING -- That's why they run the races, and throw the disks and jump the bars.

Thousands of holidaymakers flock to the Caribbean island every year to soak up a laid back lifestyle sold on the seductive beats of dread locked reggae legend Bob Marley. But behind the rumbling bass lines and the scented smoke of ever-present marijuana reefers, Jamaica is still a country coming to terms with its difficult past. Gun and knife-wielding gangs make parts of the capital Kingston a no-go area, with high poverty levels creating a desperate underworld of hustlers and criminals who often target tourists. These troubles, however, nurture a vibrant music scene that allows Jamaica to punch way beyond its weight, exporting fresh new hip-hop and dance hall sounds - alongside regular reggae - to a world thirsty for its tropical beats.
