Jamacain Herb McKenley is the only man to have reached the finals of the Olympic 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters. Even Michael Johnson didn’t achieve that, despite his PB of 10.09 seconds. Personally, if I was the USATF head relay coach, I would put MJ on the 3rd leg of the 4×100 meter relay: a long curve with 2 critical exchanges.
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
I've been working on something for months now and it has finally paid off. The Examiner newspaper published a list of Tasmanian Olympians a while ago that left out my Grandfather. Thomas Darcey represented Australia in rowing at the London Olympics in 1948. He was my mum's father and we were all a bit miffed that he wasn't on the list. I did a bunch of research and found a number of issues that could have led to him being omitted. Whilst he was born and died in Tasmania, he was serving in Melbourne with the Australian Air Force after returning from PNG during World War Two when a local rowing club at the time decided to enter their coxed eight in the Olympic trials. As Tom had been rowing with that club whilst he was in Melbourne he competed with them. Tom's team won the trial event and went on to represent Australia in London, however since it was a Melbourne club that entered the selection trials there could have been some confusion over Tom's allegiance.

Exercising the legs is paramount in creating a balanced look and improving fitness. Not only will it help you build more overall muscle, you'll look great too. Here are some of the best exercises to help you develop impressive legs.- SquatsOne of the best overall muscle builders for the legs. Stand straight with either a barbell behind your neck or dumbbells at your sides. Slowly lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the floor, pause and slowly press yourself back to the starting position. Remember to keep your back straight and look up during the entire exercise.- Leg PressesLie back on the leg press machine, place your feet on the platform firmly about shoulder width apart. Maintain a slight bend in the knees. Draw your knees back, lowering the platform and weights. Extend your legs and push the platform back to the start position.- Leg ExtensionsAn exercise that really targets the legs. Sit back in the leg extension machine with your ankles behind the supports.
