Sweet, Sweet T&T: Chapter 2

Everyone now knows about the Soca Warriors, the T&T national football players who’ll be making their World Cup debut this June.

Far fewer people are familiar with our other sporting heroes, past and present.

Hasley Crawford's commemorative stamp


Hasley Crawford
– In 1976, at the Montreal Olympic Games, Crawford sprinted to victory in the 100m final, and won Trindad & Tobago’s first and only Olympic Gold Medal.

Marc Burns – Another 100m specialist, Marc Burns is one of the stars of contemporary track in T&T. The 23 year old most recently earned a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games. As part of the T&T 4×100m relay team, Burns won the silver medal at the 2005 World Championships in Athletics.

George Bovell III – As befitting our island heritage, T&T athletes shine in the water as well as on land. At the 2004 Athens Olympics, Bovell won the bronze in the 200m Individual Medley.
