The first Olympic athlete from the Caribbean to win an Olympic medal while representing his own country was the Haitian long jumper Silvio Cator, who won a silver at the 1928 Games. However, the British sprinter Harry Edward ,who was born in British Guiana (now Guyana) had mounted the victory stand twice in 1920,winning bronze medals in both the 100 and 200 metre dashes.
