Rajindra Campbell, a Jamaican shot putter, has made history by winning the bronze medal at the 2024 Olympics, becoming the first man from Jamaica to achieve this feat. Campbell’s medal is one of only two for Jamaica at the Olympics so far, highlighting the nation’s strength in track and field despite a less prominent history in throwing events. His journey to the podium involved a switch from cricket, his first love, to track and field, and a dedication to his craft despite the financial challenges faced by athletes outside of the spotlight.
