Yes AB. I was waiting for you to mention the "10 gold by 2024". Anyone remember this initiative? We might not even have 10 athletes for individual events at the Olympics.
@AB an elder pointed this out. 2012 was the best Olympics for TT in track. 4 medals. Them people at the TT athletic association figured that what they had in place was working. So they kept EVERYTHING the same. However, the success we had in 2012 was due to the athletes having access to programs abroad (NCAA, US athletic clubs, etc). In otherwords, them people behind TT track, rested on their laurels thinking that their little involvement was enough to continue the success of 2012.
Bahamas is progressing, Barbados is fixing things up and even Guyana has improved. TT has improved in soca and Carnival.
Redirect some of that money for kiddies and promoting Carnival to young people and put it towards sports. That's a good start.
