Rojé Stona had created history with his gold in the men’s discus throw at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. He set a new Olympic record with a throw of 70.00 m, becoming the first Jamaican to win gold in a throwing event. And so did Rajindra Campbell, with his 22.15 m throw in men’s shot put, bringing Jamaica its first ever medal in the sport. But records and medals do not feed you. Track and field is already a sport that suffers from significant financial strain, especially the field part of it. So, choosing bread over nation, Stone and Campbell made the switch to Turkey. Why Turkey?Fitzroy Dunkley won the silver medal in the Men’s 4×400 m relay at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He ran the crucial third leg, helping Jamaica finish in 2:58.16, behind the USA. On June 12, 2025, a post went up on his Instagram with the caption, “Turkey isn’t playing around Their Olympic medal payouts are on another level: $531,638 $313,258 $157,616″. Turkey is offering half a million dollars for winning the gold medal in the Olympics! Who wouldn’t be tempted? Roje Stona and Rajindra Campbell aren’t the only ones who have dropped the bad news on the Jamaican track and field community. Who else did the country of Usain Bolt lose?Reported by the many track and field sources, Multiple Jamaican and NCAA Triple Jump Champion Jaydon Hibbert is expected to change his allegiance from Jamaica to Turkey in less than twenty days. The last track and field community saw of him in yellow and green colors was at the Paris Olympics, where he competed in the men’s triple jump final. He finished fourth in the final with a 17.61 m jump.Joining him on this adventure is Olympic silver medalist Wayne Pinnock. Pinnock jumped 8.36 m in the Paris Olympics’ Men’s Long Jump final, earning silver behind Greece’s Miltiadis Tentoglou, who defended his Olympic title with an 8.48 m leap. For many Jamaican field fans, this comment from a fan saying, “Jamaicans will never forget today” is going to be very true.
