"Reigning World and Olympic 400 metres champion Kirani James is Grenada's sports personality of 2012, copping his fourth consecutive title at the weekend. James easily defeated a field of 13 other male nominees for the national award during a ceremony at the Grenada Grand Beach Resort. He previously won the titles in 2009, 2010, and 2011, but was the clear favourite after securing the island's first Olympic medal when he won the men's 400m gold in London last summer. The selection panel of sports journalists Trevor Thwaites, Raymond Roberts and Michael Bascombe also selected another track athlete, Neisha Bernard-Smith (formerly Bernard-Thomas) as the Female Sports Personality for her competitiveness in 2012."

"Olympic men’s javelin champion Keshorn Walcott landed yet another award on Friday after he was named the 2012 First Citizens Sports Foundation Sportsman of the Year, at the foundation’s 50th Anniversary Awards Ceremony at Queen’s Hall, St. Ann’s. The 19-year-old was the runaway choice for the top award after he captured only T&T’s second Olympic gold medal at 2012 Olympics Games in London, England, last August. The Toco-born thrower won the event with a national record of 84.58 metres to remain unbeaten in all his meets for the year. Walcott was absent for the ceremony as he is in Cuba training for the upcoming season. His manager Sean Roach accepted the award on his behalf from President Anthony Carmona. Walctott’s track and field colleague Kelly-Ann Baptiste won the Sportswoman of the Year title for the second straight year. The Plymouth sprint queen got the nod after she became the first local woman to qualify for an Olympic finals in the women’s 100 metres in London, where she clocked a time of 10.94 in finishing sixth."

Because Trini cricketers like Darren Bravo and Sunil Narine are just minnow-bullies....

Keshorn beat all the best javelin throwers in the world to win Olympic gold, and javelin throwing is huge in the European Continent in particular....
