Williams-Darling had a breakout year in 2004. She started with a bronze medal at the 2004 IAAF World Indoor Championships in Budapest, Hungary, running a personal best behind Russia"s Natalya Nazarova and Olesya Krasnomovets. At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece Williams-Darling beat Guevara again.
In a head to head final straight, she proved to be more powerful than the Mexican runner who had been hampered with injuries and trained only on a limited basis prior to the Games.
Winning the race, she became the Bahamas" first individual Olympic gold medalist. At the 2006 Commonwealth Games, despite being the favourite, she was beaten unexpectedly both in her semi-final and the final by Christine Ohuruogu of England, claiming silver instead.
Williams-Darling took the 2007 season off to nurse a hamstring injury and did not compete during the 2008 season. In November 2012, she was elected as Public Relations Director of the Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations (BAAA) for the period 2012-2015.
