COMMONWEALTH GAMES

...Scottish government accepts scaled-down version of event after ‘multimillion-pound’ Australian offer.

The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC) has awarded $21,500 (£18,820/€21,400) in financial bonuses to their Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games medallists.

T&T stars, cyclist Nicholas Paul and sprinter Jereem Richards were among the athletes receiving medal bonuses for their outstanding performances at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England in July.

THE TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO OLYMPIC COMMITTEE (TTOC) distributed an estimated $150,000 in medal bonus money to athletes who attained podium-level performances at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, last month.

TRINIDAD AND Tobago’s Commonwealth Games men’s 4x400m relay gold medallist Dwight St Hillaire trusted his teammates Asa Guevara, Machel Cedenio and Jereem “The Dream” Richards to get the job done at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, England on Sunday.

THE absence of Trinidad and Tobago sprinters Keston Bledman, Richard Thompson, Marc Burns, Emmanuel Callender and Aaron Armstrong on the world stage has certainly left a void in men’s sprinting.
