00:00Just one more day to go before the dream becomes a reality as Trinidad and Tobago will host the 52nd Carifter Games at the Hesley Crawford Stadium.
00:13It will be the 7th time as hosts for TNT as 900 athletes and officials from 28 countries will converge, all hoping to medal.
00:21For Team TTO, the expectation is that home support will help push them to not only improve their Hall of 27 medals from last year's Games in Grenada,
00:30but to challenge their greatest performance of 40 medals in 2010, which featured the likes of Jehu Gordon, Marshall Sedenio and Michel D'Aye.
00:39Team TTO will field 78th athletes at the 3-day Easter event, headlined by the reigning Austin Silly awardee, Janae Degant.
00:47The 18-year-old impressed winning goal in the women's under-20 long jump, setting a new championship record in the process.
00:54The Frederick Twins, Sanae and Soleil, will also be among the favorites in the sprints and the 4x1 relays.
01:01After picking up two medals in Grenada, Kanisha Shelbourne would be looking for another in the triple jump this time around.
01:07Tyreek Vincent and Kiran Shreeskander-Raja both have similar hopes of improving on the color of their medals in Grenada,
01:13while Dylan Woodruff and Hakeem Chinapu will lead a new men's quartet,
01:18hoping to prove their under-24x1 relay victory over Jamaica wasn't a fluke.
01:23Trinidadian tried to defeat the Jamaicans!
01:26And Hakeem's brother, Kadeem, who produced the songbite of the last Games, will be part of the new quartet.
01:32Winning the gold medal, what does that mean to you?
01:35It means a lot. It's what I've been training for, to beat them Jamaicans, because them Jamaicans are them soft.
01:40Oh gosh!
01:41So TNT will be well represented as they look to make their 2025 crafter dream a reality.
