Bert Cameron

Bert Cameron (born November 16, 1959 in Spanish Town) is a retired Jamaican sprinter who mainly competed over 400 metres. He won the inaugural World Championships in 1983, and had a good run in the 1984 Olympic semi-final, but dramatically half way through the race grabbed his leg as a result of picking up a muscle injury. However, in one of the great comebacks of all time he miraculously managed to start running again and qualify for the final. Unfortunately his injury was such that he was not ableto take his place in the final. Four years later, at the 1988 Summer Olympics, he helped win a silver medal in 4 x 400 metres relay.
