Rosemarie is pictured above with her Jamaican team mate Shericka Williams shortly
after the finish of the womens 400m final at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
Whyte finished in 7th place whilst Williams, whose open mouthed expression suggests
she thought she may have snatched gold, finished second. The two later teamed up
with Shereefa Lloyd and Novelene Williams to win bronze for Jamaica in the 4x400m relay.
