EDITOR’S DIARY: JAMAICA HOUSE @ THE 02

If you didn’t visit Jamaica House during the London 2012 Olympics, then you will never know because words can’t express the atmosphere at The 02 arena each time a Jamaican athlete earned a medal. After witnessing Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake and Warren Weir become virtually immortal in the 200m mens final, resulting in the infamous ‘Jamaica 1,2,3’ chant. The only recollection I have of the scenes that unfolded in Jamaica House is a sore throat and a sore foot (and I’m not even Jamaican).

Thanks to Jamaica Tourist Board you can now enjoy a beautifully edited and less hysterical video of why Jamaica House was the most exciting and culturally united place to be during the games.
