BIRMINGHAM, England
Hundreds of Birmingham locals and media representatives have descended on the University of Birmingham's Munrow Sports Centre, as the Jamaican team host their first and only scheduled 'Open Day'.

The team has been training at the facility since July 15 ahead of their participation in the July 27 to August 12 Olympic Games in London.



The Jamaicans are the most popular team at the Olympics.

The county's flag waved from every hand, while eager supporters, with Jamaican flags painted to their faces, revelled throughout.
