KINGSTON, Jamaica – In a significant development for international athletics, Jamaican Olympic medallists Roje Stona and Rajindra Campbell have officially announced their decision to switch allegiance to Türkiye.
The move will prevent them from representing Jamaica at major global events for the next three years, including the upcoming World Athletics Championships in Tokyo and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Stona, who made history as Jamaica’s first Olympic champion in a throwing event with his discus gold at the 2024 Paris Games, and Campbell, a shot put bronze medallist, have reportedly secured lucrative deals to compete under the Turkish flag.
