Oof, I needed two attempts on this. For some reason I thought it was gymnastics and missed all the countries known for running.

I have seen the members of the Indian Cricket Team run during international matches here in Jamaica and I have always wondered why they don't have participants in the Sprints. They are all very fast on the field.

The Indian national record for the 100m (mens) is only 10.23. Does that answer your question, Jozi?
