20120430

T&T suc­cess­ful cy­clists, who par­tic­i­pat­ed in the Pan Amer­i­can Ju­nior Cy­cling Cham­pi­onships in Guatemala, re­turned home to an ap­pre­cia­tive re­cep­tion at the Pi­ar­co In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port, on Sat­ur­day. The squad, which im­pres­sive­ly took Gold in the Men's Team Sprint and the Women's Team Sprint, as well as Jo­di Goodridge's im­pres­sive bronze in the 500 Time Tri­al, ex­ceed­ed ex­pec­ta­tions at the week-long event. The team was wel­comed by Min­is­ter of Sport Anil Roberts, and pres­i­dent of the T&T Cy­cling Fed­er­a­tion, along with fam­i­ly, well wish­ers and mem­bers of the me­dia.

Not­ing the re­cent achieve­ments and the resur­gence of top cy­clists in the coun­try, Min­is­ter Roberts an­nounced the com­mence­ment of drainage and ground works for the na­tion­al velo­drome in Cou­va. In ad­di­tion to the mod­ern 250m wood track for com­pe­ti­tion, Min­is­ter Roberts hint­ed the pos­si­bil­i­ty of ex­pand­ing the fa­cil­i­ty to in­clude a 333m out­door con­crete track for train­ing, giv­en the con­di­tion and suit­abil­i­ty of cy­cling fa­cil­i­ties at Ari­ma and San Fer­nan­do, over which the Min­istry of Sport has no con­trol or re­spon­si­bil­i­ty. He al­so an­nounced that the up­grade of a cy­cling track at Ur­win Park in Siparia, the home­town of Olympic-bound Njisane Phillip, will soon be­gin.
