Question:

What would you do if Asafa Powell or Usain Bolt win or lose inthe 100m?

Kevin McDermott, 33


If they win, it is a great thing for the country. So, most likely, mi woulda feel good about that. Well, if they lose, I would feel displeased.

Sharlene Bonnick, 34


If they won for certain, I would be very elated and if they lost, that's a big disappointment.

Donovan Reynolds, 53


Happy, because our flag would be raised higher. Moreover, it is our black blood flowing in them. If they were to lose, I would be sad, real bad.

Rayon Stewart, 19


Jump and shout. I would be $1,000 richer. Though, if the boss dem lose, I would still cheer them on.

Camille Cole, 49


Win or lose, I love them the same.

E.D. Hastings, 47


Naturally, immensely pleased. Yet, if they lost, I would be phenomenally disappointed.

Winston McDonald, 39


I'd cheer hoo-ray! But just a tiny clap if they lost.

Kamarla Pitter, 25


Very excited but, if they lost at least they made it to Beijing to represent us.

Chiset Zeliang, 28


I would feel very proud for them and for us since we're in Jamaica, but if they lose, it doesn't matter. Someone has to win and someone has to lose.

Jason McCalla, 33


I think it's a part of life, you win some, you lose some but, I would more appreciate it if they came out on top.

Sharon Dyce, 45


As a Jamaican, I would feel proud for Asafa and likewise for Usain; win or lose.

Kevin Murphy, 28


For certain, I would honour them, whether them mash it up or not.

Denise Brown, 39


God had favour on them so that would be a good thing if the boys won. Even if them lose, at least them try.

Jerome Wilson, 16


I would be very happy if they won, yet very sad if they should lose.

Andrea Goode, 28


We are cheering for them real hard, so if they lost it would be very disappointing. I would be happy for the runners and the country when they win.

Patrict Lellon, 20


There is always 2012, so whether they win or lose, it's a great accomplishment just to be a part of the Olympics.

Suzette Shaw, 37


It doesn't really matter to me whether they win or lose.
