Former Olympian Stresses Importance of Developing the Sport of Cycling

Since Jamaica first entered the Olympics in 1948 it has produced numerous medalists, most of whom have participated in track and field.

Herb McKenley, Dr. Arthur Wint, Donald Quarrie, Merlene Ottey, Veronica Campbell and Usain Bolt are some of the Jamaicans in this exclusive group.

However there is also the often overlooked George Weller, who, at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, Russia (capital of the then Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)), gave Jamaica its only non-track and field medal at the Olympics.

Bottom Line:

Never heard of him.. neither had I!

Goal for next week: Try and find time to ride
