" I am confident that Richard and Marc will continue to improve.They both showed that they are among the worlds' best sprinters and that they have the work ethic,desire ,potential and talent to maintain their status .These young men are wonderful role models.The nation should be proud .They were beaten but not disgraced by any means."
The national Olympic chief believes that the female sprinters(Kelly-Ann Baptiste,Semoy Hackett and Ayanna Hutchinson),Jehue Gordon ,Josie Ann Lucas and Renny Quow will continue to fly the T&T flag with distinction in Berlin.
"Looking ahead to the CAC and Commonwealth Games next year. I am very excited about our(T&T) medal prospects. Once the Government and Corporate T&T continue to financially support.This quadrennial will be tremendous. The Pan Am(2011) and London 2012 are also shaping up to be record breaking."
