This is his story.

Jamacain Herb McKenley is the only man to have reached the finals of the Olympic 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters.

McKenley was also the first man to run the quarter mile under 46 seconds and under 45 seconds.

It took six tries in Olympic Finals to eventually win a Gold medal:

  • 1948 Olympics London 200 meters
  • 1948 Olympics London 400 meters – Silver
  • 1948 Olympics London 4×400 meters – DNF (anchor leg pulled a hamstring)
  • 1952 Olympics Helsinki 100 meters – Silver
  • 1952 Olympics Helsinki 400 meters – Silver
  • 1952 Olympics Helsinki 4×400 meters – Gold!

McKenley coached the Jamaican team from 1954 to 1973 upon his retirement. He also served as president of Jamaica’s Amateur Athletic Association for 12 years and was also a member of various committees of the International Amateur Athletic Federation, now called the International Association of Athletic Federations or simply IAAF.

If you are searching for actual races of Herb McKenley, you are better off buying Bud Greenspan’s Olympiad series. Otherwise, this is a great documentary of his life and his current status as a role model.

DVD: Duration 55 minutes

Contest Rules:

All you have to do to enter the draw is sign up for either the daily RSS by email (sign up box at top right of the page), or sign up for the Speedendurance.com newsletter below if you haven’t done so.

If you are reading this article by the daily email feeds, do nothing as you are already entered!

What’s the difference?

These two are not the same. The RSS by email is a full summary of all the daily postings, usually sent between 7am and 9am Pacific time.

The Speedendurance.com newsletter will be a monthly email with a quick summary of articles since the last email. It will also contain discounts and coupons to various vendors, and it may contain controversial topics that I cannot post publicly on this Blog.

The contest will end Sunday Jan 27, 2008 at 9pm Pacific and the winner will be drawn Monday morning Jan 28.
