Grenada’s Olympian Kirani James
reigned supreme, as the World Athletics
Continental Tour Gold series at the
USATF Bermuda Games kicked off on
Saturday.
James holds the men’s 400m medals
from the last three Olympic Games,
including a gold from 2012, and took
bronze last summer.
On Saturday, he easily eclipsed an
eight-man, a one-lap field that included
Machel Cedenio of Trinidad and
Tobago and 2018 US champion Kahmari
Montgomery.
Kirani James, one of the lead contenders
for the Olympic one-lap crown,
according to Olympics.com, placed
third and won bronze in the 400m
final in the Tokyo Olympics, in August
2021, with a time of 44.19 seconds.
James earned gold at London 2012
and silver at Rio 2016.

Cricket West Indies (CWI) President,
Ricky Skerrit has hailed “a remarkable
three weeks of cricket” which culminated
recently with West Indies’ capture of the
first-ever Richards-Botham Trophy.
The regional team trounced England by
10 wickets inside four days of the decisive
third Test at the National Stadium in Grenada
after chasing a paltry 28, following
the touring side’s collaspe for 120 in their

morning on 103 for eight with little hope of
saving the game.
