While medals have been reallocated over the years due to various disqualifications, these Olympics will be the first time those medals will be officially presented at the Games. Ten athletes will receive their medals at Champions Park. “I’m extremely happy, but at the same time I think, ‘Imagine if that would have happened 12 years ago,’” said Carter. “I know I’m going to feel great when I get my medal, but also certain it won’t be the same that I would have had 12 years ago if I were to get it right there in the stadium at the time of the race.”
“England has a lot of Jamaicans, so it was one of the places I wanted to do so well. I always performed well when I went there in the past,” said Carter. “In the finals, I was in lane eight. I gave it my all. I got a season’s best. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to finish in the top three. It would have been one of the greatest things for me having gotten that medal right there and then.”
