Extractions: 100 Years of Caribbean Participation By TERENCE HILTON-CLARKE FOR the Caribbean nations participating in the Games of the 27th Olympiad in Sydney, it was the celebration of a century. For one hundred years, the Olympics have brought glory to a select group of countries, and which have seen the rise of many great athletes who have earned the right to be grouped with the best there ever was and, in the process, have gained recognition for their native lands. Cuba then withdrew from the Olympic Games until the 1924 event in Paris. That was where Haiti made its mark, literally, in the shooting competition. The team of Ludovic Augustin, Astrel Rolland, Ludovic Valborge, Destin Destine and Eloi Metullus scored a total of 646 points in the free rifle competition, to finish in a tie with France behind the United States (676 points). The French eventually won a play-off, leaving Haiti to settle for bronze. Four years later, Silvio Cator, who also served as captain of the Haitian national soccer team, took the long jump silver medal in track and field with a leap of 7.58 meters. This was to be the last Caribbean medal-earning performance for the next 20 years.

Extractions: Nevertheless, the first Olympic medal was a silver one won by Enrique Figuerola in the 100 meters during the games held at Tokio in 1964. Such result took place in a very even run between the American Bob Hayes, stout and notably tall, and the Cuban, small but big-hearted and displaying and enviable reaction in the start. Final results: Hayes, 10.01 seconds; Figuerola, 10.02. Upon his arrival to Cuba , he was received like a hero. Thousands of fans all over the globe stared at the prowess of this man who became, from that moment on, one of the most important paradigms of national and international athletics. His example has inspired figures who have chosen the tracks to develop their natural talent for sports. His performance in the Olympic final of Montreal was impressive because he had to work hard to obtain the silver medal with a time of 13.33 seconds, a little behind the French Guy Drut (13.30). That was not his best performance, however. A year after that, in the World University Games of Sofia, he walked into history when he established a world record in 110-meter hurdles, stopping the chronographs in the amazing time of 13.21 seconds.

Privacy Policy Photo: Lester Forde Professor Ince, a former lecturer at the University of the West Indies, is also a former senator and Minister of Foreign Affairs, and High Commissioner to London. EW:What was your motivation in writing this book? EW: How long did it take? Dr Ince: I started the interviews in 1987 when I returned from London, Dr Ince was an Ambassador to the Court of St James and when I left for the United States I started to write. I know that I finished writing in the mid 1990's, because I have a host of correspondence from authorities in this country expressing their interest in publishing the book. That interest remained in the abstract, and was never implemented. As time passed, I continued to update the book until the authorities found time. That time is yet to come. Let me clarify something. This book on the Olympics is only a portion of the outcome of the larger document my research produced. I have a manuscript of over 600 pages, with a chapter on each national athlete who has reached an Olympic final or won a medal in the Pan American Games, the Commonwealth Games, and the World Championships.

It was indeed a rare sight for it was the first time in over 50 years that the Egyptian anthem had been played at an Olympic Games since Mahmoud Fayyad's gold medal in weightlifting in 1948 in London. Gaber's gold upped the country's overall gold medals in Olympic history to seven: El-Sayed Noseir and Ibrahim Mustafa (Amsterdam 1928); Khidr El-Touni, Anwar Misbah (Berlin 1936); Ibrahim Shams, Mahmoud Fayyad (London 1948); and Karam Gaber (Athens 2004).
