NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — A decade after coming second to the disgraced American Marion Jones at the Sydney Games, Bahamas sprinter Pauline Davis-Thompson has finally received Olympic gold.

Davis-Thompson said at an award ceremony Thursday that she was dedicating the medal for the 200 metres at the 2000 Olympics to the people of her nation.

Jones was stripped of her medals from the Sydney Olympics when she admitted in 2007 that she had been using steroids.

The International Olympic Committee reallocated the medal for the 200 metres in December 2009, making Davis-Thompson a double gold medallist — she was also a member of the Bahamian 4×400 metres relay team that won in Sydney.

Davis-Thompson, a 44-year-old council member of the International Association of Athletics Federations, received her gold medal from Cuba’s 1976 Olympic 400 metres and 800 metres champion Alberto Juantorena at the Government House ceremony.

Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture Charles Maynard announced that June 10 will be ‘Pauline Davis-Thompson Day’ in the Bahamas, as he presented her with a $10,000 cheque — the difference between the $30,000 silver medal prize and the $40,000 gold medal prize.
