PARIS 2024 SUMMER OLYMPICS

[zoom rader]

our medals have largely been because of trinis who went to us universities and were able to compete year round, had nothing to do with local support

apart from the cyclists who are lodged year around in switzerland

local support will continue to be poor
so we can only hope for some more athletic students to go abroad

Well guys whats ur opinion on TT sporting future?

Anyone.........?

and pnm govt would take credit when medals are won

They can take credit cause elite athletes are funded by the sport company via the government.

Local support via sponsorship is piss poor, but they do get funding vis The sport company.

Trinidads #1 problem is administration and poor coaching. Coaches are not up to world standards, some are just pain idiots with outdated training methods.

Administrators and coaches only use athletes only for trips abroad and picking up extra funding.

[pugboy]

you only get elite funding if you elite or have connections to begin with
a chicken and egg issue

[zoom rader]

Mero, Injun power dem beat up on creole

[pugboy]

#1 problem is development and the follow up coaching as you say
we have same old heads coaches who are recycled like a pack of cards

if we waiting for some student to go abroad and become successful then it will always be pure luck

Development is an administrative & Coaching problem.


In cycling there are local UCI level 2 Coaches who are totally useless. The UCI has Coaches up to Level 4.

A level 2 Coach is a club Coach
Level 3 is National & International Coach
Level 4 is Pro team Coach.

Trinidad is lagging behind with piss poor lazy low quality Coaches

Z,

There is no future bro.

We lack discipline and coaching….game over when at least one fails.

We need to focus more on agriculture etc

But PNM stole all the agri land to houses ghetto thugs.

Plus 1% plan is to be the sole importer of food stuff

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Trinidad sent a 36 year old to compete amongst 16 year olds and expected to medal... Pretty much sums it up

[MaxPower]

Yep a old drake.

T&T really is the sheithole of the Caribbean.

[zoom rader]

Trinidad sent a 36 year old to compete amongst 16 year olds and expected to medal... Pretty much sums it up

While age does have a factor and the peak age for an athlete is 27, what is the measure of ones physical ability is his Vo2 max for active sports. Having a high Vo2 max at age 50 can put u on the same physical ability as a 20 yr old.

T&T really is the sheithole of the Caribbean.

She would have made the qualifying standard which the younger ones didn't. It's not like miss universe where we really sending an ole drake.

[pugboy]

once you make the qualifying criteria they can’t prevent you

[one eye]

PNM family day was good.

You should pass through someday zoom.

[Syberfraggle]

In 12 years since Walcott win gold, we couldn't develop another youngster to follow him? Have a league of young sweats waiting in the wings to throw some javelin? Form a dynasty and tradition of elites? Similar to South Korean and archery?
Steups...12 years! real sad yes...

[redmanjp]

TT come 8th in men's 4×400m heat. In other words dead last. But looking at the times there was only 3.5 seconds between the 1st and 7th place. Everyone separated by fractions of a second.

Between 7th place and 8th (TT) a whole 5.5 seconds. Is like they ain't even trying.

Don't blame athletes, its an administrative and coaching issue.

[redmanjp]

Yeah perhaps.

But with those times we might as well pick random ppl off d street and send them Olympics.

Unless they mistake the heat for a training session.

[PariaMan]

The one percent who really run things only care about making money they doh care about the young black youths and their sporting aspirations.

That does not put money in their pockets. So firetruck them

[MaxPower]

Have a rum drinking or littering competition.

Medals like dat

[zoom rader]

No they dont as sports is not in their culture.

The deeper problem is the those sporting bodies with lazy administration and coaches

[redmanjp]

To get good coaches tho would cost some money. Coaching now a days is all about the science of the body. We coaches doh know nothing about that. Anil Roberts was asking all kind of questions about Carter's training like lactic acid and stuff I can't remember now.

Money needs to be invested starting from the high school level in coaches facilities and inter school competitions .

Their must be political will to do these things

If the person who holds these purse strings (imbert) does not care, it will not happen

If he makes it such that people's full concentration is trying to make ends meet, there will be no time for mass sports participation .

Unless we change this uncaring unfeeling government, we will go nowhere fast.

Second Olympics under this oppressive wicked unfeeling administration and little or no rewards again.

PNM 2025, and it will continue as the PM himself said if we continue doing the same things, how can we expect different results?

[redmanjp]

Nicholas Paul wins his heat. On to next round after 1pm.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

A couple trini born athletes winning for other countries. Rai Benjamin took the gold in the men 400 hurdles... The talent is there... The facilities to develop isn't... Trinidad for you

[pugboy]

keep fingers crossed
keirin has element of luck in it too
last time he was boxed in by other slower riders and could challenge final sprint

Nicholas Paul wins his heat. On to next round after 1pm.

[st7]

oh sheit... Kwesi Browne crashed into the ground during the race

[st7]

damn... he got injured it seems ... being wheeled out by medical staff
