Daniel Bakka Everton Bailey (born 9 September 1986) is a sprinter from Antigua and Barbuda who specializes in the 100m .
Career
Bailey represented Antigua and Barbuda at the 2004 Summer Olympics , the 2006 Commonwealth Games , the 2008 Summer Olympics , the 2012 Summer Olympics and the 2014 Commonwealth Games .
Bailey took up running at the age of 11, but preferring cricket and football, he only became a serious athlete at the age of 16. [1]
In Beijing at the 2008 Olympics, he competed at the 100 metres sprint and placed second in his heat, just four hundredths of a second after Usain Bolt in a time of 10.24 seconds. He qualified for the second round in which he improved his time to 10.23 seconds. However, he was unable to qualify for the semi-finals as he finished in fourth place after Asafa Powell , Walter Dix , and Derrick Atkins . [2]
Bailey made a strong start to the 2009 athletics season, recording a personal best of 10.02 seconds and a windy 9.93 seconds in the 100 m in early May. He broke new ground at the South American Grande Prêmio Brasil Caixa meet, becoming the first athlete to run under ten seconds on the continent. [1] His run of 9.99 seconds (achieved despite a headwind) was a new personal best. He again lowered this mark to 9.96 seconds in Rome at the Golden Gala meet and a week later in Paris ran 9.91 seconds, to finish second to his training partner Usain Bolt , setting a new national record for Antigua and Barbuda . [3] He was the first Antiguan athlete to qualify for the finals of the men's 100-metre at that year's World Championships . [1]
He won the bronze medal in the 60 metres at the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships . Finishing in 6.57 seconds, he became Antigua's first ever medallist in the event and said he hoped the medal win would bode well for the summer. [4] He competed on the 2010 IAAF Diamond League circuit, taking third over 100 m at the British Grand Prix and Adidas Grand Prix (running a wind-assisted 9.92 seconds at the latter meet). He was fourth at the Memorial van Damme and had a season's best of 10 seconds flat at the Meeting Areva in Paris, where he was also fourth. [5] His major competition performances that year were at the 2010 CAC Games , where he was the 100 m silver medallist behind Churandy Martina , and the 2010 IAAF Continental Cup , where he was also runner-up against Christophe Lemaitre . He also led-off the winning Americas relay team at the Continental Cup. [6] [7]
Missing the 2011 indoor season, he opened the year in Jamaica and achieved a personal best over 200 metres with a run of 20.51 sec at the UTech Classic in April. [8] A wind-assisted run of 9.94 sec in the 100 m followed at the Jamaica Invitational. He headed to Europe with his training partner Yohan Blake (another trainee of Glen Mills ), and his trip was highlighted by a win in 9.97 seconds in Strasbourg . The 24-year-old saw his time in Europe as a way of accustoming himself to competing abroad: "Here I learned how to acclimatise and cope with different eating habits". [9]
He was Antigua and Barbuda's flag bearer at the 2012 Summer Olympics, but did not qualify from his heat. [1] [10]
At the 2014 Commonwealth Games, he was the flag bearer for Antigua and Barbuda. [1]
He again competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro . During the 100 m event, he finished 2nd in his heat and qualified for the semifinals, but he did not start. [11] He was again the flag bearer during the Parade of Nations . [12]
