Jamaica has completed its Olympic sprint sweep.

Veronica Campbell-Brown won the women's 200 meters today in 21.74 seconds, beating American Allyson Felix by 0.19 second. Campbell-Brown won the 200 gold and Felix the silver in 2004 as well.

Jamaica's Usain Bolt had previously won the men's 100 and 200 meters and Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser won the women's 100. There's no doubt about it: Jamaica has taken the place of the United States as the world's dominant sprinting nation.
