CARIFTA Games 2023

[asylumseeker]

Posting as I view the closing ceremony. What's the verdict on the event and on T&T's collective and individual performances?

Incredible scene: 200m runner from Grenada running solo (AFTER the Austin Sealy award was presented) to see whether he finishes among the medals. That has to be a monumental screw-up. At least remedied in some measure.

The usual. Two three bright spots, and we lose to Bahamas for about the 20th time in a row in the team standings.

I saw the table of medals. Completely underwhelming.

Deeks you do realize that was 2022. He should have been in the U20 at these 2023 games. Also judging from his most recent times, he would probably have been golden or at least picked up a medal.

Alarm was "sounding" since 2016.

Said it on radio, TV, and in here.

That was during the "iceberg dead ahead" stage. That is long gone.

With no medals whatsoever at 2 consecutive worlds and (maybe) 2 consecutive Olympics, maybe someone can tell me what to do now, because I don't know how to stop a ship from sinking once it has already started. It started in 2019.

We let the usual bullshit, old talk and no planning get us here.

This is not going away quickly - or easily. The little "bump" we had at Carifta this year is mostly because it was so bad before it must improve at some point.

Let's cheer on Jereem, who will be a finalist in everything he does at the highest level for some more years.

Apart from that, it's going to be a SERIOUS drought.

I've been here long enough that all know I am a realist and not a pessimist. That is just how it is for us now.
