2 others won Olympic gold

Although technically correct that Walcott was the second person from TT to win Olympic gold for this country, it is important to note there were two Olympic gold medals won by people born in TT : Kerron Clement running for the US in the 4x400 metres relay in 2008 and Glenroy Gilbert running for Canada in the 4x100 metres relay in 1996.
