00:00Coach of Olympia Gymnastics Dale Ali said TNT dominated the competition despite a strong showing from the other participating nations.
00:08They gathered 161 medals, 72 gold, 61 silver and 28 bronze medals.
00:15We came first in level 1, first in level 2, first in level 3, first in level 4, first in level 5,
00:22we came second in level 6, we came first in level 7, level 8, level 9, level 10,
00:29and in the Pago Juniors, Pago Championships, we came first in level 1, we came second in level 2,
00:38and in level 3 we came first again, so it was really, really a good experience.
00:43He said while the athletes prepared for the competition, the results still came as a surprise.
00:48It was a shock because one, we know we were prepared, the clubs that are in Trinidad and Tobago,
00:55we know we have a very high standard of gymnastics in Trinidad and Tobago,
00:59and we know how strong it is, but yet still the other countries are really good also.
01:05The other countries are really, Jamaica is not an easy team to beat.
01:08He said they were able to cope with raising the required funds to get the athletes to the tournament.
01:14Yes, yes, yes, that's how our accommodations worked out.
01:18We split the costs for different hotels.
01:21Those who couldn't afford the more expensive hotels, some stayed at the lower priced hotels,
01:27and at this point I really want to shout out Southern Sales for coming on board,
01:33and Bicker Insurance coming on board and really pulling us out,
01:36and hats off to the mommies and daddies who ploughed the streets,
01:40they sold the big sales, the little soup sales, everything, it added up.
01:45Today, the participants in the Olympia Wolfpack will be challenging the Jamaican Classic,
01:51which will feature other competing nations.
