An Olympic Diary

WALCOTT PREPARES TO DEFEND

Keshorn Walcott shocked the world in 2012, capturing the Olympic men's javelin title as a 19-year-old. In August, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the Trinidad and Tobago athlete will bid to repeat as champion. He is currently in Cuba, along with his coach Ismael Lopez Mastrapa as well as other top T&T throwers Cleopatra Borel and Shakeil Waithe.

Today, in the first of his four "Olympic Diary" instalments, Walcott speaks about his preparations on the Road to Rio.
