Without knowing the actual time of day that the events were held, that is a difficult question to answer. However, Jamaican athletes first participated in an Olympic event on July 30, 1948 in the men's 100 meter dash and men's 800 meter run.
That said, either Les Laing or Arthur Wint was the first Jamaican athlete to participate in the Olympics. Laing ran in Heat 1 of Round 1 in the 100 meters and Wint ran in Heat 4 of Round 1 in the 800 meters.
