Angela Bailey, the Canadian record holder in the women’s 100m with 10.98 and a silver medallist at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics in the relay, has died.
She was born in Coventry in the UK in 1962 but moved to Canada in 1974 and began to make her mark as a sprinter in the late 1970s.
She set a still-standing Canadian 100m record of 10.98 in Hungary in 1987 and still holds the Canadian indoor 200m record too with 23.32 set in 1984.
At the 1984 Olympics she teamed up with Angella Taylor-Issajenko, Marita Payne and France Gareau to take silver behind the United States, whereas in the individual 100m she finished sixth.
Elsewhere, she won bronze at the World Indoor Championships in 1987 in the 60m and she took silver medals at the Commonwealth Games in the sprint relay three times.
