George Lewis (athlete)
George Gregory Sebastian Lewis (May 9, 1917 – February 17, 2011) was an athlete from Trinidad and Tobago who competed in the sprint events. He was born in Arima.
He was a member of the first Trinidad and Tobago Olympic team at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom. He competed in both the men's 100 metres and 200 metres. He went out in the first round of the 200 metres, but did qualify for the second round of the 100 metres (by winning his heat), but that was as far as he got.

gollark: Look, if I rewrite it in Rust people will (rightly!) complain that I'm downloading a 1MB WASM blob for tiny features.
gollark: I feel like if Discord's team programmed the frontend in C they would manage to introduce a million memory leaks and security issues.
gollark: This seems like FRP or something, which could be neat but how does this even work.
gollark: It would take twice as long to program and have several times the security issues.
