September 25 Birthdays

1964
Ray Lazdins, Canada, discus thrower. Lazdins was the gold medalist in the men's discus at the 1986 (Edinburgh) Commonwealth Games, where he threw 58.86m. He is also a nine-time national champion in the discus, and it should not reflect poorly on him that the nation is Canada.

1974
Kemel Thompson, Jamaica, hurdler. Thompson won a bronze medal at the 2006 (Melbourne) Commonwealth games, placing third in the men's 400m hurdles in 48.65.
