Franno walked away from a promising finance career to chase a different ambition: proving Jamaican sprinters could become world champions without ever leaving home.

In 1999, he co-founded the MVP Track & Field Club in Kingston, and over the next two decades reshaped global sprinting. His genius lay in developing numerous world-class sprinters who have dominated international competitions often taking athletes dismissed as “ordinary” and forging them into champions.

The results were staggering. Under his guidance, MVP athletes won 56 IAAF World Championship medals, 28 Olympic medals, 25 Jamaican National Records, three Olympic Records and five World Records

His roster reads like a hall of fame: former 100m world record holder Asafa Powell, multiple Olympic 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, double Olympic sprint champion and fastest woman alive, Elaine Thompson-Herah, alongside Shericka Jackson and Brigitte Foster-Hylton.

Beyond the medals, Francis’s true legacy was philosophical: he proved that world-class athletes can be discovered, trained, and managed entirely within Jamaica, breaking the old pipeline to American colleges and giving Jamaica ownership of its own sprinting destiny.

[DARK OXYGEN @tillybuff]

you become accustomed to being slapped with all sorts of notifications concerning payment for one trip and will walk away from it thinking that the money was deducted because what?

[DARK OXYGEN @tillybuff]

most typical payments come with three alerts, “processing”, “reversed”, “approved”. processing once the ride is confirmed at the range rate, reversed after the ride has ended and uber recalculates the rate based on time, etc and approved once that recalculated rate is settled.

[Ron Marisah @RonneHMarisa]

It’s not so black and white in every case. I’ve used Uber 5 times and I’ve seen Approved- for initial fee and the deduction made, Reversed, and Approved- for a final fee where deduction is made. They don’t go through immediately and apparently 2 of 5 trips were not processed.

[Claire Dunphy @cee_suella]

This is also my question.

Yes, NCB was a mess on their end but they continued to do the same thing not thinking eventually NCB would take back them money?

They expected NCB to reach out with a proposed payment plan?

I get the shock of it all but eventually it had to happen.
