00:00President of the National Association of Athletics and Administrations of Trinidad and Tobago,
00:05Ephraim Siret, gave up some rest to watch the performances of Jareem Richards and Keyshawn Walcott.
00:10He believes that their efforts come in a timely manner.
00:13How timely these medals are coming on the heels of NGC withdrawing their sponsorship.
00:20I think this allows us now to open a new chapter, seeking new sponsorships.
00:30To continue the work of the federation and development of our athletes to represent on the international stage.
00:39He praised Walcott for his hard work and perseverance.
00:43Keyshawn is an exceptional performance.
00:48Having participated in numerous world championships and I've never even medaled.
00:53And to come and do a gold medal performance, it's just unbelievable.
01:01And a four-member team, four members.
01:04I mean, there was a lot of noise of only four members, but quality.
01:08He also believes that Jareem Richards executed his plan well despite the lane assignment.
01:13Jareem, you know, noise about lane, what lane and which lane.
01:17They all run in 400 and the athletes know when they run the semi-final, what is required if they have to position themselves.
01:26And once you get your lane assignments, you have to plan your race.
01:30You have to plan, you know, your race.
01:33But this performance of these two medals is a blessing and it augures well for Trinidad Tobago Athletics as we move forward to LA 28.
