Fresh from his victory at the NCAA Outdoor Championships Kurt Felix is hoping to carry this competitiveness to the bigger stage.
Felix is among the nine members of the team who will be competing in their first Olympic Games. Neisha Bernard-Thomas is the only athlete in the team who has made an Olympic appearance. She was a semi-finalist in the 800m at the 2008 Games in Beijing, China.
In the weeks leading up to the opening of the Games in London, the Grenadian athletes will participate in two pre-Olympic Games training camps. Felix has joined Bernard-Thomas and Joel Redhead at a high-performance training centre in the northeast of England.
He opens his Olympic campaign in the Men’s 100m Decathlon on Wednesday August 8 at 5:10 a.m. He will also compete in the long jump, shot put, high jump and 400m on that same day before wrapping up competition the following day in the 110m hurdles, discuss, pole vault, javelin and 1500m.

Day 1 – Monday July 2, 2012
After an exhausted travel across the Atlantic on Sunday, I checked into the Marriott Hotel to spend the night and get some well-deserved rest. However, I took a while for my body to adjust and I had some problems falling asleep. I pulled out my laptop and watched some movies and checked in with some friends online.
My coach Jeff is already here along with Mr Joseph, Mr Francis, and teammates Neisha and Joel.
Today we departed the hotel and checked at the training camp at the University where we toured the facilities at our disposal as we prepare for the Games.
There was no training today as the coaches allow us to rest and get our bodies adjusted from the long travel.
It has been raining here for the past few days and a bit chilly too but despite the weather I am looking forward to get the ball rolling in our first practice session tomorrow.
