We have this spectacular award show every year, spending money on top athletes from other country to be main speakers, but is it really worth it? On the world’s stage we are nothing and continue to sink even lower, so is this motivating anyone? In soccer our biggest news was going up against the USA twelve years ago with Peter Byers, now you figure by now we should be further ahead.
In the Olympics the only time you see our athletes, see our flag or hear our name is during the introduction march in after that injury kicks in.
After the Brazil Olympics mixed up, Chet announced we will be introduced to a wide sporting segment, not only in track but especially in the field. He mentioned bow-an- arrow as one, but two Olympics later with the same squad in control we are still empty.
We once had enough top sprinters to form a world class relay team and was classified as one to be reckoned with, our own Bakka was once on the same level as the great Bolt, but only lasted briefly. Today we have more None athletes traveling to the Olympics than qualified athletes.
Just once I will like to see our flag flying in the Olympics, or at least get us in any finals. Good luck to our young athletes at Carifta.
