Grenada’s premier-rated athlete, Kirani Zeno James, will be among seven of the World’s best quarter-milers in the final of the Tokyo Olympic Games, making his bid to pull off another Gold medal and once again stamp his authority on the global 400-metre event.
We would remember Kirani winning gold for the first time in the 2012 London Olympics, but fell short in the silver medal position in Rio 2016.
After his bout with Greaves diseases which halted his prowess somewhat, Grenada’s golden boy is back on track and sets his eyes on the ultimate prize.
Citizens at home and abroad will join the World in watching the event 8am Thursday.
Several of the country’s faithfuls have been sending their best wishes, as Kirani seeks Olympic Gold for yet another time in his career.
