On this podcast, we break down the Olympic career of one of the world's greatest sprinters of all time, The Most Honorable Merlene Ottey. Competing professionally for Jamaica for over 20 years, Ms. Ottey has never won an Olympic gold medal even though she has earned, 6 bronze and 3 silver medals making her one of the Games' most decorative track and field Olympian. However, 2 years after the 2000 Games in Sydney, Ms. Ottey switched allegiance to Slovenia. This came off the yields of the Ottey - Peta Gaye Dowdie controversy at the Sydney Games.
