Thanks Anita
And thanks Lilian for the edits!!

Oh sorry, I had forgotten one thing:

The Jamaican's victory --> The Jamaican victory

Lilian,
I've edit again to Anitas suggest. Hope that you agree. TAK Anita!

Det var så lidt! :-)

Hi Anita, Hi Pia.

I edited that "The Jamaican's victory..."

I think all the sentences refer to the athlete not to the country, therefore what was expected was his victory.

What do you think?

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.

I agree with wkn

OK, then if that's what everybody thinks...
Let's go back to Jamaican.

Yes, you are so right wkn!

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!

Ok ...you were faster than me dear Lilian
