By Rubén Morales Iglesias: “Congratulations to Steven Gardiner of The Bahamas on his victory in the 400 metres at the Olympics and to Hansle Parchment of Jamaica for his victory in the 110 metre hurdles. Our athletes continue to do our region proud!!” said CARICOM on social media.

On August 5, Parchment won the Men’s 110m Hurdles Final in 13.04 seconds at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. Another Jamaican, Ronald Levy won the bronze medal in 13.10. American Grant Holloway won silver in 13.09.
