Daniel Bakka Everton Bailey (born 9 September 1986) is a sprinter from Antigua and Barbuda who specializes in the 100m.

Career

Bailey represented Antigua and Barbuda at the 2004 Summer Olympics, the 2006 Commonwealth Games, the 2008 Summer Olympics, the 2012 Summer Olympics and the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Bailey took up running at the age of 11, but preferring cricket and football, he only became a serious athlete at the age of 16.{{cite web|url=http://g2014results.thecgf.com/athlete/cycling_road/1031881/daniel_bailey.html|title=Glasgow 2014 - Daniel Bailey Profile|website=g2014results.thecgf.com|access-date=12 October 2019|archive-date=16 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180916203532/http://g2014results.thecgf.com/athlete/cycling_road/1031881/daniel_bailey.html|url-status=dead}}

In Beijing at the 2008 Olympics, he competed in the 100 metres sprint and placed second in his heat, just four-hundredths of a second after Usain Bolt in a time of 10.24 seconds. He qualified for the second round, in which he improved his time to 10.23 seconds. However, he was unable to qualify for the semifinals as he finished in fourth place after Asafa Powell, Walter Dix, and Derrick Atkins.{{cite web|url=http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/BIO/Athlete/4/8003264.shtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080909175047/http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/BIO/Athlete/4/8003264.shtml|archive-date=2008-09-09|url-status=dead|title=Athlete biography: Daniel Bailey|website=Beijing2008.cn|access-date=26 August 2008}}

Bailey made a strong start to the 2009 athletics season, recording a personal best of 10.02 seconds and a windy 9.93 seconds in the 100 m in early May. He broke new ground at the South American Grande Prêmio Brasil Caixa meet, becoming the first athlete to run under ten seconds on the continent. His run of 9.99 seconds (achieved despite a headwind) was a new personal best. He again lowered this mark to 9.96 seconds in Rome at the Golden Gala meet and a week later in Paris ran 9.91 seconds, to finish second to his training partner Usain Bolt, setting a new national record for Antigua and Barbuda.Biscayart, Eduardo (25 May 2009).

He was the first Antiguan athlete to qualify for the finals of the men's 100-metre at that year's World Championships.

He won the bronze medal in the 60 metres at the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships. Finishing in 6.57 seconds, he became Antigua's first ever medallist in the event and said he hoped the medal win would bode well for the summer.Landells, Steve (13 March 2010). [https://www.iaaf.org/news/report/event-report-mens-60-metres-final-2 EVENT REPORT – MEN's 60 Metres Final]. IAAF. Retrieved 12 October 2019. He competed on the 2010 IAAF Diamond League circuit, taking third over 100 m at the British Grand Prix and Adidas Grand Prix (running a wind-assisted 9.92 seconds at the latter meet). He was fourth at the Memorial van Damme and had a season's best of 10 seconds flat at the Meeting Areva in Paris, where he was also fourth.[https://web.archive.org/web/20120406182008/http://www.tilastopaja.org/db/atm.php?ID=55393&Season=2010&Odd=0 Daniel Bailey 2010]. Tilastopaja. Retrieved 12 October 2019. His major competition performances that year were at the 2010 CAC Games, where he was the 100 m silver medallist behind Churandy Martina, and the 2010 IAAF Continental Cup, where he was also runner-up against Christophe Lemaitre. He also led off the winning Americas relay team at the Continental Cup.Robinson, Javier Clavelo (26 July 2010).

Missing the 2011 indoor season, he opened the year in Jamaica and achieved a personal best over 200 metres with a run of 20.51 sec at the UTech Classic in April.Foster, Anthony (17 April 2011). [https://www.iaaf.org/news/news/blake-beats-powell-over-200m-in-kingston Blake beats Powell over 200m in Kingston]. IAAF. Retrieved 12 October 2019. A wind-assisted run of 9.94 sec in the 100 m followed at the Jamaica Invitational. He headed to Europe with his training partner Yohan Blake (another trainee of Glen Mills), and his trip was highlighted by a win in 9.97 seconds in Strasbourg. The 24-year-old saw his time in Europe as a way of accustoming himself to competing abroad: "Here I learned how to acclimatise and cope with different eating habits".Vazel, Pierre-Jean (13 June 2011).
