Rising from the ashes of two years of COVID-19, the CARIFTA Games returned with a bang to a familiar venue here in Kingston, Jamaica yesterday.
Amid rhythmic and entertaining singing and dancing performances, the return of the annual Regional athletic showpiece at the renowned National Stadium was ushered in by Jamaica’s Prime Minister, Andrew Holness, President of World Athletics, Lord Sebastian Coe and several other dignitaries.
Off to a fast start, the Region’s best teen athletes are vying for medals and bragging rights in 14 disciplines in the first major, multi-country event in the Caribbean since 2019.
