She came, she saw and she gained numerous fans mainly schoolchildren which, to US hurdler Kristi Castlin, was her biggest joy when she visited the Land of Many Waters last week. Castlin’s hectic, three-day visit, saw her paying a courtesy call on Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony. She also visited the synthetic track at Leonora and several schools around the city. She also consented (quite willingly) to grant this newspaper’s Sports Editor Donald Duff an interview which will be done in two parts. Part one follows.
