T&T ath­letes Keshorn Wal­cott and Jereem Richards en­sured that Trinidad and To­ba­go’s medal drought at glob­al ath­let­ics meets did not ex­tend to a decade yes­ter­day, af­ter com­ing away from the 2025 World Ath­let­ics Cham­pi­onships in Tokyo with gold and sil­ver medals in the javelin and 400 me­tres events, re­spec­tive­ly, on day six of the cham­pi­onships.

Be­fore yes­ter­day’s dou­ble-medal ef­fort, T&T had gone un­re­ward­ed at the 2020 and 2024 Olympic Games in Japan and France, re­spec­tive­ly, as well as at the 2019, 2022, and 2023 World Ath­let­ics Cham­pi­onships in Qatar, Unit­ed States and Hun­gary, re­spec­tive­ly.
