Two years on since reigning supreme at London 2012, Team Jamaica are back in Britain hoping to reassert their track dominance at Glasgow 2014.

Appearing rather fresh-faced and inexperienced in comparison to their previous major championship teams, this young squad offers arguably the first insight into life after Usain Bolt for the Caribbean nation.

While Bolt is of course still running at the event, his bit-part role in the relays offers the likes of Warren Weir the chance to take on the mantle of poster boy.

It's not only the youngsters who will go into the event not knowing what to expect either, for several of the more experienced athletes such as Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce this will also be their first taste of a Commonwealth Games. In fact, only eight of the 68 chosen for the team have previously competed at the event formerly known as the Empire Games.
