Overview of the Caribbean Region's Medal Performance at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil Overview of the Caribbean region’s medal performance at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Prepared for http://repeatingislands.com by Peter B. Jordens Curaçao, August 29, 2016 Introduction The 28th Olympic Games were held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from August 5 to 21, 2016. This overview summarizes the performance of the Caribbean nations that won medals at “Rio 2016”. It connects with the overview of the Caribbean medal performance at “London 2012” that is available online at https://repeatingislands.com/2012/08/17/caribbean-athletes-shine-at-the-olympics-an-overview . The core information in this overview has been sourced from http://en.wikipedia.org (several entries on overall medal count and individual country performances) and https://www.rio2016.com/en . This overview uses the following abbreviations: B : Number of bronze medals G : Number of gold medals n.a. Not applicable 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) : (Number of gold medals, number of silver medals, number of bronze medals) Core results The athletes of the Caribbean won 39 medals at Rio 2016. This constitutes 4.0% of the total number of medals conferred at the Rio Games. Table 1 shows how the 39 medals were distributed among the nations of the region. Table 1.

It signifies a perfect and unmatched athletics feat of nine wins out of nine Olympic finals, establishing him as a true Olympic legend. Having dominated the 100m and 200m sprint events at the World Championships and the Olympic Games since 2008 and holding the world record in both events since 2009, “Lightning Bolt” is not only the “world’s fastest sprinter” of the present era but is also generally considered to be the “greatest sprinter of all time.” • Elaine Thompson of Jamaica has surfaced as the new fastest woman sprinter in the world, winning both the 100m and 200m Olympic sprint events. • At present both the “world’s fastest man” and the “world’s fastest woman” are Jamaican. • Veronica Campbell Brown of Jamaica won her 8 th medal at her 5 th consecutive Olympic Games since 2000. She has won 3 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze Olympic medals in her illustrious career. • In Rio, Jamaica won a medal in all four track-and-field relay events contested by their men and women. • Mónica Puig Marchán won Puerto Rico’s first Olympic gold medal ever. • Idalys Ortiz Boucurt of Cuba has now won a medal in judo at three consecutive Olympic games. • Mariana Pajón Londoño, BMX cyclist, has become the first Colombian to win two Olympic gold medals.

  • Message to the Nation by Dr the Honourable Keith
    MESSAGE TO THE NATION BY DR THE HONOURABLE KEITH ROWLEY, MP PRIME MINISTER OF THE REPUBLIC OF TRINIDAD & TOBAGO ON THE OCCASION OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO’S 55TH ANNIVERSARY OF INDEPENDENCE 31 August 2017 Fellow Citizens of Trinidad and Tobago On the occasion of the 55th anniversary of our Independence, many of us would be mindful of our journey as a nation. As a Small Island Developing State, our ability to navigate the journey of nationhood has always depended on our creativity, our willingness to work hard and our ability to stand firm together as a nation. In order to continue on the path of growth and development, we the people are mandated to foster a strong patriotism as well as our own capacity to take full advantage of opportunities through clear focus, grit and determination. Despite our challenges, I believe that Trinidad and Tobago continues to live up to the promise and potential we demonstrated in 1962 and we can ill-afford to falter now. We must strengthen our democratic institutions and implement policies that are tailored to our specific conditions and developmental objectives. In so doing, we will increase our chances of success exponentially. Earlier this month, the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago received an incredible pre – Independence Day gift. We witnessed our fantastic four – Jarrin Solomon, Jareem Richards, Machel Cedenio and Lalonde Gordon – bring home our country’s first ever gold medal in the 4×400 metres relay event at the recently concluded IAAF World Championships in London, England. A few days earlier, Jareem Richards had made his mark in the 200m event claiming a bronze medal for the country.
