Germaine is pictured above playing to the crowd after he had cleared the bar
during the final of the men's High Jump at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
It was a outstanding performance by Mason, whose PB equaling leap of 2.34m won
him the silver medal on the countback rule ahead of Russia's Yaroslav Rybakov.
Germaine died in a motor bike accident on 20 April 2017 at the age of 34.
Upon returning from a soca party he was riding his motorcycle when he crashed.
