In the next few days, Grenada will be standing up to the test of accommodating the regional CARIFTA Athletic Games.
Already, athletes from the many participating countries have begun to arrive and the organizers here are getting into the busy mode for the staging of the 51st Carifta games.
It’s the third time Grenada will be hosting the spectacle.
Over two thousand officials and athletes from 28 countries are expected on Grenadian soil for one of the region’s marquee sporting events.
It will be a presentation of Caribbean athletics and culture twinned into the three-day Easter affair.
At a News Conference of the Local Organizing Committee this morning, it was stated that the Government has pumped some 4 million dollars into the staging of the activity.
La Crete says the Government’s support is testament to its commitment to youth development.
Public Relations Officer of the Grenada Athletic Association, Kwame Hypolite, is expecting a bumber affair.
