He competed for the British West Indies at the 1960 Summer Olympics, where he won the bronze medal in the 800 metres. He then teamed up with Keith Gardner, Malcolm Spence and James Wedderburn to win the bronze medal in the 4×400 metres relay.[1] In 1962, he became the first Jamaican athlete to have the national flag flown in recognition of winning a gold when he won double gold in the 400 m and 800 m at the Central American and Caribbean Games held at Kingston's National Stadium. At the 1964 Olympics, representing Jamaica, he finished fourth both in the 800 m and the 4 × 400 m relay. He broke the Olympic record for the 800 m in the semi-finals but lost the bronze by less than one-tenth of a second with 1:45.9, his fastest ever time.[1] Kerr won five medals at three Commonwealth Games. In 1958 he won a bronze in the 4 × 440 yards relay. He won gold medals in the 440 yards and in the 4 × 440 yards relay and silver in the 880 yards in 1962. His final medal, a bronze for the 880 yards, came in 1966 in Kingston, Jamaica.[3] On 4 June 2012, Kerr had a heart attack and underwent heart surgery at the University Hospital of the West Indies. He remained in the intensive care unit until he succumbed to complications. He had a wife, Fay Kerr, five children, Karyn, Margaret, Roger, Candice and William Kerr and seven grandchildren.[4] References1. ^1 2 {{cite Sports-Reference |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ke/george-kerr-1.html |title=George Kerr |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150523034131/http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ke/george-kerr-1.html |archive-date=2015-05-23 |dead-url=no}} 2. ^George Kerr. trackfield.brinkster.net 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.jamaicanewsbulletin.com/sports-mainmenu-33/3051-george-kerr-passes-wished-more-jamaicans-did-the-800m.html |title=George Kerr Passes – Wished More Jamaicans Did The 800m |publisher=Jamaicanewsbulletin.com |date= |accessdate=2012-06-18 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120625173102/http://www.jamaicanewsbulletin.com/sports-mainmenu-33/3051-george-kerr-passes-wished-more-jamaicans-did-the-800m.html |archivedate=25 June 2012 |df=dmy-all }} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/sports/Olympian-George-Kerr-dies-at-74_11725334 |title=Olympian George Kerr dies at 74 – Sports |publisher=JamaicaObserver.com |date= |accessdate=2012-06-18 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120811051600/http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/sports/Olympian-George-Kerr-dies-at-74_11725334 |archivedate=11 August 2012 |df=dmy-all }} External links
