Born in St. Kitts, then the British colony of St. Christopher, Nevis and Anguilla, but representing Great Britain at the 1972 Olympics. St. Kitts did not have an NOC at that time, and it was not individually represented at the 1974 Commonwealth Games either (where Knight represented England and won a gold medal), so I shall class this athlete as St. Kittsian.
