3 years ago

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.

She is not concerned about any action that the IOC may take against her once she protests.
