Donovan Bailey
He set the world record time of 9.84 seconds in the 100m, winning the 1996 100m Olympic Gold Medal
Bailey's 1996 Olympic performance was particularly notable for his top speed, which reached an astonishing 12.10 meters per second (43.6 km/h or 27.1 mph) during the race. This was the fastest speed ever recorded by a human at that time, showcasing his exceptional athleticism and sprinting technique. His ability to maintain such high velocity over the course of the race set him apart from his competitors and earned him widespread recognition in the world of athletics.
In addition to his individual success, Bailey was also a key member of Canada's 4x100 metre relay team, which won gold at the 1996 Olympics. This victory was a historic moment for Canadian athletics, as the team defeated the heavily favored U.S. squad. Bailey's contributions to the relay team, combined with his individual achievements, made him a national hero in Canada and a symbol of excellence in sprinting. His legacy continues to inspire future generations of athletes.
Bailey's accomplishments have been recognized through numerous honors, including his induction into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 2004 as an individual athlete and again in 2008 as part of the 4x100 relay team. He was also inducted into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 2005. These accolades reflect not only his success on the track but also his lasting impact on the sport of sprinting and Canadian sports history.
