Minister of Sport and Community Development Shamfa Cudjoe and TT Olympic Committee (TTOC) president Brian Lewis say they will continue to rally around TT’s athlete delegation as they remain in the hunt for medals at the Tokyo Games.
With just five events to go – men’s sprint and keirin cycling, men’s 4x400m relays and men and women’s 4x100m relays – for TT, the minister and local Olympic head believe the remaining athletes can still produce a medal performance at the Games, which concludes on Sunday.
