Asafa Powell has revealed one major flaw about Jamaican track and field that needs urgent fixing else his children, who are also legible to represent Canada and Ghana will never represent the country.
Jamaican sprint legend Asafa Powell has explained one concerning flaw about track and field in the country that urgently needs to change, else the future of the sport there will be bleak.
Powell, who fathers two children, Avani and Liam with his Canadian-Ghanaian wife Alyshia, voiced his concern on his The Powells YouTube channel shortly after taking part in a sports day activity at their kids’ school in Jamaica.
Both his children are well on course to become the next great track and field stars, having already taken after their dad by taking up the sport in school.

Ranking The 10 Best Footballers Of The 21st Century
The 21st century has witnessed some remarkable football talents on the pitch but who are the best players to ever play the game since the turn of the millennium?
PAY ATTENTION: Stay updated with the Latest Sports News from Pulse Sports.
Powell was leaving the event when he expressed the situation in his recently-uploaded video.
“So whenever I post videos or anything of the boys doing sports or track, people are always like, ‘Yo, the future looks good’ or ‘Future stars,’” Powell said.
“But honestly, guys, if the support system doesn’t change, my kids are not running for Jamaica. Not running for Jamaica. Sorry to say that—but it’s just facts.”
The former world 100m record holder pointed to the availability of alternative options for his children, given their dual citizenship.

Government Announces Start Dates for Installation of Screens, Tartan Track and VAR Systems at Kasarani Stadium
Sports CS Salim Mvurya has provided an update on when the remaining renovation works at Kasarani Stadium will be completed before test matches start being held at the venue in June.
“My wife is Canadian and Ghanaian, so there are options, you know what I mean?” he noted.
Powell then recalled a moment early in his career back in 2006 that now weighs heavily on his mind. “ I was offered millions—millions of US dollars—to run for another country. And at the time, I turned it down because I didn’t know what the future would hold.
“ It was very early. But if I knew then what I know now, I would have taken that opportunity.”
Despite his deep-rooted patriotism, Powell was candid about the harsh financial realities that athletes face in Jamaica.
“I love my country and all that, but at the end of the day, it’s business. It’s my life. It’s my future. If we don’t have support—money makes the world go round.

Top 10 Greatest Goals in Football History
From Lionel Messi's spectacular against Getafe in 2007 to Diego Maradona's stunner against England in 1986, these are the top 10 greatest goals in football history.
“ Everybody wants more money every day. We want to be comfortable and live a good life. No athlete wants to retire and go work a 9-to-5 or sit down struggling, wondering what's next.”
The 2006 Commonwealth Games champion further insisted that post-retirement security remains a major issue for many Jamaican athletes, whose earnings often fail to reflect their international achievements.
“We all want to have a good life afterwards. Our money should work for us when we’re retired,” he stressed.
Powell also called out a growing tendency to diminish athletes' value in the public sphere. “I know a lot of people feel like they want to level up or disrespect athletes, but it’s a different level, guys. Don’t try to level up. We’re all human beings, but it’s just a different level, you know what I mean?”
“We have a talent, and we use that talent to make a living. That’s what we do. So if the whole system doesn’t change up…”
His comments now add to the growing chorus of former and current Jamaican athletes calling for structural reforms in sports governance, athlete support, and retirement planning.
And if someone of Powell’s stature is questioning Jamaica’s track and field future, perhaps it's time for the island’s sporting authorities to listen, especially following their disappointing show at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
