Juliet Cuthbert

Juliet Cuthbert (born 6 April 1964) is a Jamaican athlete who competed mainly in the sprints (100 and 200 metres).

Cuthbert attended "Morant Bay High School" and later "Olney High School" in Philadelphia and the University of Texas at Austin.

She competed for Jamaica in the 1992 Summer Olympics held in Barcelona, Spain in the 100 metres and 200 metres where she won the silver medal in both, finishing behind Americans Gail Devers and Gwen Torrence respectively. After running a great 2nd leg in the sprint relay final she pulled a muscle before completing the second change and pulled up. This was a sad end to a fantastic championship for her and deprived the Jamaican relay team who would have most certainly won a medal, perhaps the gold. The same year she was deservedly elected Jamaican sportswomen of the year.

Four years later in the Atlanta 1996 Games where she helped the Jamaican 4 x 100m relay team of Michelle Freeman, Nikole Mitchell and Merlene Ottey to the bronze medal.

With the Jamaican sprint relay team she also won a gold medal (1991) and two silver medals (1995, 1997) at World Championships.
