Alleyne Francique, Grenada
Born: 7 June, 1976
Height: 188 cm (6’ 2”)
Weight: 75 kg (165 lbs)
Event: 400 m
Previous Olympic experience: Atlanta 1996
On two previous occasions Alleyne Francique had made the finals of the
outdoor World Championship without placing for a medal. Finally, at the 2004
World Indoor Championship in Budapest, the 28-year-old Commonwealth indoor
record holder became the first Grenadian to win a global track and field title,
capturing gold in the 400 metres. “It feels good, because when I went into the
race I had country first and then myself afterwards,” said Francique after the
race. “I wanted to win this for my country, and get the national anthem played.”
Adored at home for his fierce national pride and unswerving determination,
Francique saw the Budapest championship as an opportunity to reward his fans. He
dominated from the first, controlling his heat, the semi, and then the final
itself.
The three-time Grenadian Sports Personality of the Year, Carifta Games gold
medallist, and Pan Am bronze winner is now hoping to add an Olympic medal to
this year’s success, but Francique understands that being the World Indoor
Champion doesn’t guarantee anything.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:
2004: Gold medal, 400 metres, World Indoor Championship, Budapest
2002: Gold medal, 400 metres, NCAA Indoor Championship, Fayetteville,
Arkansas
Personal best: 44.72 (400 m)
