Jamaica wins 77 Medals at 2012 CARIFTA Games
Jamaica once again underlined its dominance of regional track and field, emphatically topping the competition at the 41st Carifta Games, which came to a close at the National Sports Centre in Bermuda yesterday. The Jamaicans ended the championships with a massive 77 medals - 34 gold, 24 silver and 19 bronze medals - with The Bahamas running second best with 38 medals (13 gold, 13 silver, 12 bronze) and Trinidad and Tobago's 24 medals (eight gold, nine silver, seven bronze) rounding out the top three.
This was one of the island's best ever showings at the Carifta Games, with the record 84-medal haul in 2004 falling out of reach this time around. Jamaica have now won the championship on 36 of 41 occasions and have won every instalment since 1985.
