best and world's fastest time at the 200 metres of 20.06 s on 19 June in Warsaw. In 1979, at the second Athletics World Cup he won the 200 metres and was runner-up in the 100 metres. He was also Cuban champion and won the Soviet 100 metres championship that year. At the 1980 Summer Olympics Leonard won a silver medal in 100 metres, finishing behind Allan Wells of Great Britain. He then went on to finish 4th in the Olympic 200 metres final in a time of 20.30, narrowly missing out on another medal. Leonard was never a factor at world level after the 1980 season and disappointingly there has been no legacy of world-class Cuban sprinters to follow him and his 100 and 200 metres bests are still Cuban records. He retired in 1985 and is reportedly now a track coach. Notes Rankings Leonard was ranked among the best in the world in both the 100 and 200 m sprint events over the incredible spread of 8 seasons from 1973 to 1980, according to the votes of the experts of Track and Field News. Awards In 2003, Leonard was inducted into the Central American and Caribbean Athletics Hall of Fame.
