Overview of the Caribbean Region's Medal Performance at the 2012 Overview of the Caribbean region’s medal performance at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England 1 1 Peter B. Jordens Curaçao, August 14, 2012 We embrace [all Caribbean athletes who participated in the Olympics] as our very own, in the same spirit that the region has embraced Kirani James. Our athletes have proven that hard work and dedication yields remarkable results. — Tillman Thomas, Prime Minister of Grenada, in a message congratulating the Government and people of Jamaica for the performance of that country’s athletes at the 2012 Olympic Games. (Source: http://www.spicegrenada.com/index.php/government-news/aug-2012/1482-prime- minister-congratulates-jamaica, August 10, 2012) Introduction The 27th Olympic Games were held in London, England, from July 27 to August 12, 2012. In the pan-Caribbean spirit of the above-cited statement by Grenada’s Prime Minister, the present overview summarizes the perform- ance of the Caribbean nations that won medals at London 2012. The sources used for this overview are http://en.wikipedia.org and http://www.london2012.com. All the statistics in this overview concern the Summer Olympic Games.2 This overview uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: B : Number of bronze medals BOT : British Overseas Territory G : Number of gold medals IOC : International Olympic Committee NOC : National Olympic Committee pop : Population size of a nation (expressed in millions of inhabitants) S : Number of silver medals T : Total number of medals, where each medal type counts as one (G=1, S=1, B=1) WT : Weighted total number of medals, where the medal types are counted as G=1, S=0.5, B=0.25 (x-y-z) : (x gold medals, y silver medals, z bronze medals) 1 The author welcomes comments, corrections and suggestions at [email protected]. 2 Caribbean nations mostly do not participate in the Winter Olympic Games. Exceptions have been: Jamaica (6 times), Puerto Rico (6), Bermuda (6), Netherlands Antilles (2), Cayman Islands (1) and Colombia (1). Caribbean nations have never won a medal at the Winter Olympic Games. 1 Core results The athletes of the Caribbean won 45 medals at London 2012. This constitutes 4.7% of the total number of medals conferred at the London Games (962). Table 1 shows how the 45 medals were divided among the nations of the region. Table 1.

The 24 medals won in track & field at London 2012 constitute 16.8% of all track & field medals conferred at the London Games. The Caribbean nation with the best achievement in track & field, delivering half (12) of the region’s 24 medals in that sport, was Jamaica.3 Jamaica’s performance earned that nation the third spot on the global ranking of nations for London 2012 as far as medals in track & field are concerned. Trinidad and Tobago and the Domi- nican Republic were also among the top 15 of this ranking. See Table 3. 3 All of Jamaica’s 12 medals at London 2012 were in track & field. Of the 67 medals that this country has won ever since it has participated in the Olympic Games, 66 medals have been in track & field. Jamaica obtained one medal in cycling in 1980. 2 Table 3.

Organisations and people who succeed, expand while others get smaller. They take risks while others conserve. They remain focused on the destination instead of the difficulties. The successful keep their eyes on the targets regardless of the challenges. Big thinking, massive actions, expansion and risk taking are necessary for our survival and future growth. We will never have all the answers. Our timing will never be perfect. There will always be obstacles and difficulties. However, success is our duty, obligation and responsibility. Successful people and organisations are highly goal oriented and always pay more attention to the target than the problem. Excuses are for people and organisations who refuse to take responsibility. People and organisations with a can do attitude approach every situation with the outlook that no matter what, it can be done. Challenges are the experiences that forge successful people and organisations' abilities.
