Poor written article.
Which record is broken?
In reporting on the record recently set by Nickecoy Bramwell at the Carifta Games, not once did the author/journalist Anthony Foster inform his readers which record had been broken. It is not mentioned at all, so I still have no clue which of Usain Bolts’ records have been broken. Answers on the next alert would be welcome. Thank you.
Another click bait heading LoL 😆
