Merlene Joyce Ottey (born. May 10, 1960 in Hanover, Jamaica)
her failure to win many golds in major international competitions earned her the nickname "the Bronze Queen" in racing circles. She has won a total of three gold, three silver and eight bronze medals in the 4 x 100 m relay, the 100-m, and 200-m races.
Her career achievements and longevity has led to her being called the "Queen of the Track".
Throughout her career, she has won eight Olympic medals the most by any woman in track and field history [3]. These include three silver and five bronze medals. Even though she has won several olympic medals, she has never won an olympic gold medal; she sometimes lost by as little as a hundredth of a second.
Ottey has won more Olympic medals than any other athlete from the Western Hemisphere. She is also the first female Caribbean athlete to win an Olympic medal.

i think of it replaced into an unlucky slip of the tongue. perhaps he would have suggested, I bowl like my grandma or I bowl like a three 365 days old. Oh wait, somebody could be offended by that. the factor is he replaced into making relaxing of himself and made a bad decision of words. My Dad used to inform me, will this make a difference on your existence ten years from now? if so you may paintings it out, if no longer, nicely you may besides permit it pass now quite of nursing a grudge. He can no longer undo it, all he can do is make an apology at this factor. i think of a beneficial gesture could be to certainly bowl with some specific Olympics individuals and enable them to show him a thank you to bowl. He could invite them to the White residing house. in basic terms a concept.
