Jaheel Hyde: The New Usain?

If one man is synonymous with Jamaica it's Usain Bolt. The double Olympic and World sprint champion, holder of multiple world records has dominated athletics for some years...

It does mean though anyone who comes from the island and shows sprint potential is dubbed "the new Usian Bolt"... most fall well short of deserving that title... But in Jaheel Hyde, Jamaica might just have a new prince of the track!

In last years Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China, Jaheel won gold in the 110m hurdles and in doing so broke the 13 second barrier, something many top class hurdlers spend their whole life striving... and failing to achieve... Nick Davies has been to meet him in the islands capital Kingston.
