ST GEORGE’S,
Grenada, August 30, 2011 - The Ministry of Youth Empowerment & Sports would like to take
this opportunity to congratulate all our athletes who continue to make us proud
and most recently Kirani James and Rondell Bartholomew for their splendid
performances at the World Athletics Championships in Daegu, South Korea.
The victory by Kirani James is another
testament of the ability of our sportsmen and women to excel at the highest
level.
Following the race on Tuesday morning I
journeyed along with Prime Minister Tillman Thomas to meet the family of Kirani
in Gouyave, St John.
We have expressed sincere congratulations
on behalf of the Government and people of Grenada.
Let me also express congratulations to
Rondell for persevering to the end despite an injury a reflection of grit and
determination.
I would also like to congratulate Albert
Joseph for his coaching skills and ability to lead and motivate our athletes.
Let me also convey best wishes to Ms. Janelle Redhead as she embarks on her
journey in the 200 metres on Thursday.
Finally, let me reiterate’s the Ministry's commitment to work with the National
Sports Council, Parish Councils and the Grenada Olympic Committee to ensure we
provide knowledgeable coaches, quality facilities and committed administrators
