SuperClubs shows appreciation to Olympic medallists PDF Print E-mail

The SuperClubs family of all inclusive resorts announced its congratulations to Jamaica's Olympic medallists by offering a complimentary one week stay for two at any of the SuperClubs resorts.

Jamaica swept the medals in the short sprints and won the men's 4x100 relay in record time.  Usain Bolt also solidified his place as the fastest man on the planet by breaking both the 100m and 200m world records.

"We're just exploding with pride and joy at our athletes' phenomenal performance so far, and we want to show how much it means to us here in Jamaica," said Zein Issa, SuperClubs VP Marketing.

During the Beijing Olympics, the Jamaican women's team stole the spotlight of the world stage in the 100 meter sprint.  Shelly-Ann Frazier clocked a personal best 10.78 seconds, claiming Olympic gold, while in a blur of yellow and green, Sherone Simpson and Kerron Stewart shared the silver, finishing two tenths of a second behind. 

Jamaica's sweep of the top three spots in the 100m was the first since the United States men's team did it at the Stockholm Games in 1912 and marked a profound achievement for the Caribbean country.  On the same track just a day before, Jamaican Usain Bolt set a new world record, covering the 100m distance in just 9.69 seconds.

"These athletes are truly outstanding, and our nation is overflowing with pride," echos John Issa, executive chairman of SuperClubs. "It's both our honour and our pleasure to welcome our heroes back from their exceptional performance in Beijing."

To help celebrate the homecoming of Jamaica's Olympic medal winners, SuperClubs is extending a complimentary week's stay for two to any Jamaican medallist at the SuperClubs all inclusive travel resort of the athlete's choice, Grand Lido Resorts & Spas, Breezes, Hedonism or Starfish Resorts.

Jamaica finished the games with a record haul of 11 medals.
