London 2017 4x400m champions are TTOC’s Sportsman of the Year
Mark Pouchet :: Trinidad Express :: 30.12.2017"It is all about the team and teamwork. I couldn't have done it without the rest of my team and it feels really great," Team TTO athlete Rennie Quow was reflecting on the historic Team TTO men's 4x400 IAAF World Championship title-winning team whose members were jointly named Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC) Sportsman of the Year on Friday night.
