St Fort eyes World U20 Champs
Kwame Laurence :: Sean Taylor :: Kern De Freitas :: Donstan Bonn :: Garth Wattley :: Mark Pouchet :: Trinidad Express :: 18.05.2016Among the stars at the Carifta Games in Grenada this year was Trinidad and Tobago's Khalifa St Fort. The 18-year-old sprinter struck gold in the girls' under-20 100 metres dash. She is targeting more gold at the July 19-24 IAAF World U20 Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland.
In today's "Olympic Diary", St Fort talks about the Road to Bydgoszcz, as well as her Olympic aspirations.
