Jamaica will have the biggest visiting contingent at this weekend’s North, Central America and Caribbean (NACAC) Under-18, Under-20, and Under-23 Championship in Athletics at the National Stadium in San José, Costa Rica. A total of 263 athletes, including several soon-to-be Olympians, will be competing from Friday 9 to Sunday 11 July, with 19 territories represented. Regrettably, North America will not be represented at all; the United States, Mexico, Canada, and Cuba were among the territories which opted not to send teams to the meet, which was last held in 2019 in Querétaro, Mexico.

During the closing stages of the recently concluded Olympic Trials for track and field athletes in the USA, one of the athletes protested on the podium. The athlete has protested before and has been very fearless in publicly declaring her commitment to her cause and that of so many millions of black people in the USA and around the world. There is absolutely no doubt that having made the US team to the Tokyo Olympics, she would continue her protest. She is not concerned about any action that the IOC may take against her once she protests.
