Saint Kitts and Nevis competed in the Olympic Games for the first time at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, United States. The country sent ten athletes to compete, all in the sport of athletics. None of the athletes received a medal.

Background

Saint Kitts and Nevis Amateur Athletics Association was formed in 1977 and joined the International Olympic Committee in 1993.[1] Prior to the Olympics, Kim Collins earned a bronze medal at the CARIFTA Games in the men's under 20 category.[2] During the 1995 IAAF World Championships, Ricardo Liddie and Kim Collins competed in the 4 x 100 relay, but did not advance past the first round.[3]

Athletics

{{main article|Athletics at the 1996 Summer Olympics}}

Saint Kitts and Nevis sent ten competitors to the 1996 Olympic Games, the most ever for the country.[4]

Kim Collins, the only man from St. Kitts and Nevis to compete in an individual event, competed in both the 100 m sprint and the 4 × 100 m relay at the age of 20. He finished the first heat of the 100 m sprint in third place with a time of 10.27, which was fast enough to qualify him for the quarterfinals.[5] Collins ran a little slower in the second heat—finishing with a time of 10.34—which was not sufficient to qualify for the semifinals.[6][7]{{rp|86}}

The men's 4 × 100 m relay team consisted of Ricardo Liddie, Bertram Haynes, Kim Collins, and Alain Maxime Isiah. They finished the first heat with a time of 40.12, garnering fourth place in the heat. This was not fast enough to advance to the next round, and they were eliminated from competition.[8]

Diane Francis was the only woman to compete in an individual event, the 400 m. She finished the first heat with a time of 52.48, and placed fifth in the heat. With this time, she advanced to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals her time improved to 52.24, which was not high enough to advance to the semifinals.[9]Bernadeth Prentice, Bernice Morton, Elricia Francis, and Valma Bass competed in the 4 × 100 m relay. The team received a DNF (did not finish), and therefore did not advance to the next round of competition.[10]

St. Kitts and Nevis also participated in the 4 × 400 m relay. Bernadeth Prentice, Diane Francis, Valma Bass, and Tamara Wigley competed in the 4 × 400 m relay. Three of the four athletes on the team also competed in other events at these Games. The group finished with a time of 3:35.12, garnering a seventh place finish in their heat. They did not advance to the next round and were eliminated.[11] Also Ayne Allen was a part of the 4x400 metres relay but was unable to run.
