Olympic Tradition
Trinidad and Tobago will be making its Winter Games debut in Torino. At the Summer Games, it has earned 12 total medals, most of them in men's sprinting.

For the Salt Lake City winter olympics in 2002 we had a bobsleigh team for the two man race. I vaguely remember it was two brothers and another guy (one sub I suppose). Out of a field of 36 or 37 we came last with Jamaica and Mexico placing higher than us.

we have had bobsleigh teams represent us as far back as the 94 winter games in Lillehammer.

Yeah, The bobosled team had inspire me to enter the olypics myself.
So I look around to see what it is I could do. Because Bobsled and thing like ski-jumping and racing look real dangerous, I finally settle on Curling.

I was all set to form the 1st T&T Olympic Curling Team.  I was sure we'd be in the medals. After all, curling take 2 skills that I have in abundance - pelting stone and sweeping. I was already looking to line up my rossi sponsorship, when i find out from the World Curling federation that I miss the qualification rounds 

But there is always next time. So anybody who want to join up, send me your dues and I will sign you up to the T&T Curling Assn.
