Barrington Chester Williams (born 11 September 1955) is a male retired English sprinter and long jumper.
Williams represented his country at the 1988 Summer Olympics in the 100 metres instead of his preferred long jump because the schedule would force him to compete on a Sunday which was against his religious convictions.[3] He represented England, at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand[4] [5] and four years later represented England, at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.[6] [7] [8]
