Agile career [edit]

Quarrie made the Jamaican 100 m team for the 1968 Summertime Olympics every bit a 17-year-old, only he injured himself in preparation, and could non accept part. He moved to the United States and attended the University of Nebraska and later the University of Southern California, where he graduated with a caste in Business and Public Administration.^{[3] [4] [5]} There, his sprinting capabilities gradually increased. At the 1970 Commonwealth Games, Quarrie won the gold medal in both the 100 and 200 m, surprising his more experienced competitors. Anchoring the Jamaican 4 × 100 m relay team, he pocketed a third Democracy title.

Quarrie repeated his dart double the following yr at the Pan American Games in Cali and his time in the 200 meters was a hand-timed 19.8. Ane of the favourites for the upcoming Munich Olympics, Quarrie again suffered from injuries at the Olympic Games. He did compete in the 200 m but had to abandon his 200 one thousand semi-concluding after pulling a muscle.^[ane]

In 1974 Quarrie repeated his 1970 operation by grabbing the 100 and 200 thousand titles at the Commonwealth Games in Christchurch, condign the get-go athlete to retain the title in either event. The next season, he again tied the 200 m globe record, 19.8. He also tied the 100 1000 record with a hand-timed mark (9.nine) in 1976 at the California Relays at Modesto Inferior College, 1 of merely a few athletes to have held these records simultaneously. This time was actually x.07 seconds.^[ane]

In 1976 afterward winning the AAA's 100/200 titles Quarrie could finally compete at the Olympics without injuries. He first fabricated the 100 m concluding, which he led until overtaken past Trinidadian Hasely Crawford. In the 200 chiliad Quarrie led the pack coming out of the plow and held off all challenges to accept the title in 20.22.^[1]

At the 1978 Commonwealth Games he won his third consecutive 100 m title but was eliminated in the 200 m after a cramp attack. Quarrie'south participation in his quaternary Olympics in Moscow was in doubt after he was involved in a automobile crash the previous year. He recovered in fourth dimension to compete but was eliminated in the 100 m semi-finals. His championship defence force failed in the 200 m simply he did make the final and finished third, adding a bronze medal to his drove.^[1]

By 1984 Quarrie was no longer among the globe's best in the individual sprint events and it was therefore no surprise he was eliminated in the heats of the 200 m result at the Los Angeles Olympics. However, he won a 4th Olympic medal with the Jamaican 4x100 m relay squad, which finished second behind the United States.
