Trinidad and Tobgao s Akeem Stewart. - Angelo Marcelle
To date, Akeem Stewart is the only Trinidad and Tobago para-athlete confirmed to participate in the upcoming Paralympic Games in Tokyo.
The 28-year old punched his ticket when he captured gold at the 2019 Parapan Games in the men’s F64 discus event with a World and Pan American F43 record of 63.70 metres.
At that same meet, national sprinter Nyoshia Cain-Claxton also secured Paralympic qualification in the women’s T44 100m and 200m events. She will be absent from the Tokyo meet, however, because of her pregnancy.
