Talk about a roller coaster ride. Up and down,up and down.

Percy Williams was the first "great" Canadian sprinter winning it all back in the 24.Then .........nothing......until the 60's and the "great" Harry Jerome who tied the WR 6 times. He had a long successful career then........nothing......until the emergence of Bruny Surin and then Donovan Bailey. Of course we all know their story.Now it's back to.........nothing......

I doubt Harold Abrahams would appreciate me giving Percy his gold medal.Percy won it all in 28 not 24........my bad!
