Glad to see the World Championships

Dear Editor,
I am very thankful to the management of WRHM for the broadcast of the just concluded 12th IAAF Berlin 2009 World Championship games and hope that such an event serves as an inspiration to current and future Guyanese Olympians at future global meetings.

The representation by the locals must be commended, although getting on that podium needs some serious groundwork and adjustments from my observation.

I was in awe at the determination of medal and non-medal winners, and I have to admit that Americans Alison Felix (200m winner) and Sanya Richards (400m winner) lived up to my expectations. The women’s 4×400 which included both Alison and Sanya was a moment of glory with the blow-out win.

Anyhow, taking a break from athletics, I expect the 2010 Canada Winter Olympic Games to be sheer ‘x ice ment’ and I am also looking forward to the 2010 South Africa World Cup Soccer.
Yours faithfully,
T Pemberton
