Biography

Olivia Celia McKoy (born 1 December 1973) is a retired female javelin and discus thrower from Jamaica.
She won the silver medals at the 1999 and 2005 Central American and Caribbean Championships and the bronze medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, and finished fourth at the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games.
She also competed at the 2000 Olympic Games, the 2005 World Championships and the 2008 Olympic Games. Her personal best throw is 61.10 metres, the standing Jamaican Woman's record, achieved in July 2005 in Nassau.
McKoy retired after competing at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Following a stint coaching high school girl javelin and discus throwers in Georgia, McKoy returned to her hometown of Mandeville to teach at Hydel High School, with plans to open her own school.
In March 2015, McKoy competed in the UWI Track and Field Meet and took first place in the women's javelin with a throw of 49.62 m. This performance has led to considerations of a senior career for McKoy.
