Contents

The Bahamas sent 41 athletes to the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. Bahamian athletes are traditionally strongest in the track and field events, where numerous athletes, including Tonique Williams-Darling, Chandra Sturrup, Debbie Ferguson, and Chris Brown all entered the Games as medal contenders in their respective events, though some events have since concluded with no medals won by Bahamian contenders.

With 6 previous medals in their Olympic history, including their first gold medal in the women's 4x100 meter relay at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, the Bahamians have now upped their total to 8 in Greece. The highlight of the Games so far for the Bahamian athletes came when Williams-Darling won the 400 meters race on August 24, 2004.

Ferguson won the bronze medal in the 200 meters race the following day. At 28, she was the oldest athlete in the final. She was quoted after the race as saying "I think per capita, the Bahamas already won the Olympics", referring to the 2 medals won for the nation of approximately 325,000 people.[1]
