00:00This one is worth its weight in gold, as Trinidad and Tobago's karate team returned from the 4th International Karate Daikagu World Cup in Guyana yesterday with a bag load of gold medals.
00:13In fact, TNT bagged 191 gold medals at the 4-day event.
00:19As a result, TNT captured the tournament country cup as the winners of the most gold medals.
00:25And it wasn't an easy feat with competition coming from there and wide, with challenges from Jamaica, Sri Lanka, Australia, Canada and China to name a few.
00:35The competition was divided into 8 age groups, with competitors from as young as 5 years of age going well over 60 years.
00:43TNT's squad consisted of 66 competitors, with the youngest being 7 years of age, while the eldest was 61.
00:50And Sensei Nicole Lambie, who is the TNT head coach, spoke more on the tournament and the successes for Team TNT.
01:21In fact, we had a competitor who was over 60. Every one of our 66 competitors received a gold medal in one event or the other.
01:29In fact, we went away with the tournament country cup, we captured 191 gold medals.
01:37So that does not even include our silver or bronze, but majority of our medals were all gold.
01:45We have karate for all ages, all walks of life. It is an activity that you can encourage anyone to participate in.
01:54From whatever age, it is something that is a way of life. It is not just a sport, it is a way of life.
