Donald Thomas (born 1 July 1984) is a Bahamian high
jumper.
Thomas took up the sport in early 2006, having
previously played basketball. He cleared 2.22 metres
in his first meet, and just months later he finished
fourth at the 2006 Commonwealth Games with a 2.23 m
jump.
In the 2007 indoor season he cleared 2.30 metres for
the first time, and eventually jumped 2.33 metres in
March in Fayetteville, Arkansas. In July 2007 he
cleared 2.35 metres on the world record track in
Salamanca, Spain. The result was a new personal best
and the world seasons best at the time. He then won
the World Championships in Osaka, again with a 2.35
jump.
The Bahamian record currently belongs to Troy Kemp
with 2.38 metres.
