Kent Bernard, a member of TT's men's 4x400-metre relay team which earned a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 1964, died at 82 on February 19.

At the 1964 Olympics, alongside Wendell Mottley, Edwin Roberts and Edward Skinner, Bernard brought joy to the people of TT when the quartet placed third in the 4x400m final behind the US and Great Britain in a time of three minutes, 01.70 seconds (3:01.70).

Both the National Association of Athletics Administration (NAAATT) and the Ministry of Sport and Community Development paid tribute to Bernard, who was also a member of TT's 4x400m bronze medal team at the 1971 Pan American Games. Roberts, Ben Cayenne and Trevor James completed the TT quartet on that occasion.
