Emmanuel McDonald “McDonald” or “Mac” Bailey, Great Britain, was born in 1920, emigrated from Trinidad to compete for Great Britain in the 1948 Olympics, where he earned sixth in the 100 meters with a throat infection (behind Harrison Dillard’s gold medal in that event). In 1951, Bailey tied Jesse Owen’s 10.2 second, 100-meter world record, “which he and Owens would hold jointly for five more years.” Bailey measured 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighed 143 pounds. He earned his Olympic bronze medal in 100 meters, with a time equal to Lindy Remigino’s gold-medal time in the 1952 Olympics. In the same Olympics, Bailey placed fourth in the 200 meters and fourth in the 4×100 meter relay. He served as a member of the Royal Air Force before returning to Trinidad in 1963. Bailey passed away on December 3, 2013. “Emmanuel McDonald Bailey,” IOC, accessed August 22, 2020, https://olympics.com/en/athletes/emmanuel-mcdonald-bailey#. “BOA Honours Achievements of Sprinter Emmanuel McDonald Bailey,” British Olympic Association, December 9, 2013, 12:03, https://www.teamgb.com/news/boa-honour-achievements-sprinter-emmanuel-mcdonald-bailey.
