00:00Now the question was always going to be how will the Prime Minister reward Jareem Richards and Kishon Walcott?
00:06Well, she answered that question today.
00:08The Sangre Grandi Sporting Facility is now the Kishon Walcott Multi-Purpose Sporting Facility
00:12and the Prime Minister indicated that he will be getting $500,000.
00:17How did he feel about that?
00:19Kishon, I don't know if you win another gold medal again.
00:22What are they going to rename after you?
00:25Prime Minister's house?
00:27The country.
00:27I mean, I mean, it's a great honor, you know.
00:33I think I'm at this stage in my career where I try to build my legacy, you know,
00:39what I will be remembered for because medals are one thing,
00:42but then the impact you have on the country and the world is something else.
00:47So, like, even yesterday I was speaking to my manager and we were saying that,
00:53you know what, one of the main things right now is missing is like that one throw.
00:57That is actually going to make you re-remembered for, you know, in terms of business.
01:02So, like, that is the goal right now.
01:05So, you're looking to break the world record?
01:07Oh, no, I did not say that.
01:08I did not say that.
01:09I did not say that.
01:10But I am looking to throw far.
01:12Like, next year's goal is to throw far.
01:15You may know or may not that being a sport ambassador will entitle you to the grant of a diplomatic passport,
01:22of course, subject to due diligence by the authorities.
01:25So, you will be able to travel in and out.
01:28And we hope that you will be working not just here.
01:31You've made the entire curriculum proud as well.
01:33As for Jareem Richards, who won silver at the World Championships,
01:37she indicated that they will be sticking within the guidelines of the sporting policy.
01:41And Jareem is looking at me.
01:43Yes, Jareem, we also have something for you.
01:46Silver medalist, according to the Cabinet policy, you will receive $250,000.
01:51$250,000 for making us proud.
01:57And you're very young, so I know there's much more that can come to you.
02:01Minister and I will work it out and discuss with you.
02:04Meantime, TKR's captain, Nicholas Puran, and player of the tournament, Karen Pollard,
02:09were named support ambassadors and given diplomatic passports.
02:13For your captain, the not-so-young but-young Nicholas Puran,
02:18we will also make you a sport ambassador and grant you a diplomatic passport
02:24so that you can go and come and represent Trinidad and Tobago.
02:34So, you have captained the team to this fifth CPL title.
02:39And these are some of the honors that we have for your team and for you.
02:42And, of course, we'll have further discussions with the Ministry of Sport.
02:45Again, we will want to ask you all, both the players and the backup teams,
02:51to ask you all to help us to mentor the youth.
02:55So, we also want to name Karen Pollard a sport ambassador for Trinidad and Tobago.
03:05Karen Pollard has made us proud regionally and internationally,
03:11which is cricketing ability, especially in the Indian Premier League in India.
03:17Puran was pleased with the award.
