It is something that he cherishes and believes will be the most significant Olympic appearance of his career. McKenzie leads the charge as he faces Yemen’s Hesham Makabr in the first round of the men’s judo 60kg tomorrow (Saturday) at 3 a.m. (Jamaica time) at the Champ de Mars Arena. McKenzie, who was born in England, has already been to three Olympic Games, wearing the colours of Great Britain. However, he says that displaying the Jamaican colours will be the proudest moment of his career so far.
