..is still THE world's fastest.
He got the time 9.77. [not "he´d got"]
THE Jamaican victory was pretty obvious on 100 metres.
His world record is 9.69. [without "own"]

Ok Lilian ..
You are right about that this "article" is about him, the athlete. But the Swedish word "jamaicansk" is refering to the country. But since this is "meaning only", maybe it's more logical to translate it that way. I'll edit "back", thanks again.
"jamaicanen" (male) = the person.
"jamaicanskan" (F) = the person.
No - what was expected was victory by someone from Jamaica, there were more possibilities than the actual winner, all of whom were favourites. So Jamaican victory is better.
sorry for all the edits Lilian, but I'll edit back now. I hope for the last time .. if not, you better reject this one. MANGE TAK Anita (igen) och wkn!
