Athletics community hails ‘Dream’ Richards.
TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO Olympic Committee president Diane Henderson described Jereem Richard’s gold medal feat yesterday as “an example to the entire country of what can be achieved by determination, discipline and focus”.
Richards recorded a personal best, a new Commonwealth Games record—previously held by former sprinter Frankie Fredericks of Namibia—and a successful defence of his Men’s 200 metres title at the Commonwealth Games on his way to Team TTO’s first athletics medal in Birmingham.
