Samson Colebrooke (born 10 May 1997) is an Olympic sprinter from the Exuma Island in The Bahamas. He is the fastest born-Bahamian over 100m as Derrick Atkins, the national record holder, was born in Jamaica.
Originally from Exuma, Bahamas, Colebrooke moved to America to study law at Purdue University.[1] In 2019, Colebrooke won silver at the NACAC u23 championship in Mexico. Due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, Colebrooke found himself unable to return home before the Bahamas government closed its borders. He had to remain in America for an extended period.[2]
At the 2020 Summer Games, he was drawn in heat two of the 100 metres race, alongside Trayvon Bromell amongst others. Colebrooke finished 7th in the heat in a time of 10.33 seconds.[3] [4] At the 2022 World Athletics Championships, Colebrooke ran in the 100 metres dash finishing fifth in his heat in a time of 10.23.[5]
