Malique Williams (born August 13, 1988) is an Antiguan swimmer, who specialized in sprint freestyle events.[1] Williams qualified for the men's 50 m freestyle, as a 15-year-old, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He received a Universality place from FINA in an entry time of 34.04.[2] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat two, including 37-year-old Mamadou Ouedraogo of Burkina Faso. He posted a lifetime best of 32.86 to secure seventh spot over Malawi's Yona Walesi by a 1.15-second margin. Williams failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed eighty-second overall out of 86 swimmers in the preliminaries.[3][4]
