Ja-born Olympians representing other countries

Bridge, Decasseres two Jamaican-born shooters representing the West Indies Federation

Jamaican-born athletes have represented several countries at the Olympic Games —  Canada, Bahamas, Great Britain, United States, and the Cayman Islands.
One of the first and oldest to do so was Keith De Casseres, representing the West Indies Federation in shooting at the 1960 Olympic Games.
The 5-10 Decasseres, born on May 27, 1910, took his place in the men's free pistol, 50 metres. He was 50-years-old and one of 67 men competing in the event.
Decasseres was one of just eight men 50 years and older taking part in the competition, none of whom got on to the podium. The closest oldster coming close to winning a medal was 52-year-old Swede and multiple world champion Tornsten Ulman who shot 550 points for fourth place.
In fact Decasseres was the only competitor who failed to finish the 50m free pistol at that Games.
Another Jamaican-born shooter, Tony Bridge, also representing the West Indies Federation, tied in 60th place in the same event, after shooting 319 points. Bridge was 39 years old at the time.
Decasseres died in 2003, three years after Bridge.
Bridge, however, was the leading pistol shooter in the region, competing in both the 1960 and 1964 Games (for Jamaica), before becoming a leading sports administrator.
A Wolmerian, Bridge graduated from high school in 1938 and became chairman and managing director of Novelty Trading Company. He was director of insurance, banking and other commercial companies in Jamaica.
Bridge, however, was by far one of the most sought-after sports administrators in Jamaica and he made himself available, heading the top sports associations in the land.
He was president of the Jamaica Olympic Association from 1958 to 1977, president of the Jamaica Amateur Athletic Association (JAAA) from 1954 to 1962, and vice-president of the Jamaica Boxing Board of Control from 1947 to 1962.
Bridge was also vice-president of Jamaica Rifle Association (1960-62), Jamaica Amateur Weightlifting Association (1939-49), vice-chairman of the Organising Committee for the 1962 Central American and Caribbean Games, and the 1966 British Commonwealth Games.
Both the 1962 CAC Games and 1966 Commonwealth Games were held in Kingston, Jamaica.
An IOC member in October 1973, Bridge served until his death in December 2000.
He was a member of the Commission for the Olympic Programme from 1974-80 and a member of the Press Commission since 1983.
