Jamaica’s dominance in the women’s 100m at the Olympics is mind-blowing. 10 of the 12 medals won since 2008 and every single gold since then have been won by Jamaicans. 16 of 30 medals since 1984 have also went to Jamaican women. DOMINATE

You are only the "Fastest" in the world if you are the FASTEST in the world. You can only be the FASTEST if no one (alive) has registered a faster time than yours. So maybe add a clarifier like "fastest this year". I get the need to always add hype but nothing else makes sense.
