Despite admitting to pre-race nerves, Jamaica’s Marquies Page delivered a record-breaking performance to lead his country’s medal charge at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games in Senegal, claiming the nation’s first gold medal of the Games. Page stormed to victory in the boys’ 110-metre hurdles final in a personal-best (PB) 12.95 seconds, finishing comfortably ahead of Shinjie Chen of China, who clocked 13.40 for silver, and Enrique Bosch of South Africa, who secured bronze in 13.45. Reflecting on his achievement, the young Jamaican could hardly hide his delight.
