The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee ( TTOC ) extends greetings to the national community as the country celebrates  Emancipation Day .

Hosting major sporting events has contributed more than £1.6 billion ($2.1 billion/€1.9 billion) to London’s economy since the city staged the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, a new report published by London & Partners has revealed.

“So far, so good.” This was the assurance given by T&T Olympic Committee (TTOC) president Brian Lewis of the pre Olympic training camp presently unfolding in Braganca Paulista, Sao Paulo in Brazil.

The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC) is fully abreast about the concerns expressed over the readiness of the Olympic Village ahead of the 2016 Rio Games. However, TTOC president Brian Lewis is confident the Rio Games organising committee is doing everything it can to address all the issues ahead of the Games which start on August 5.

Keeping in mind that the 2024 Olympic Games is some eight years away, the T&T Olympic Committee (TTOC) is wasting no time in preparing the future Olympians for the journey to get to ten golds by that year.

The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC) yesterday recognised the 40th anniversary of Hasely Crawford’s capture of the country’s first Olympic gold medal and offered congratulations to the Montreal 1976 100 metres winner.
Crawford won gold exactly 40 years ago today, and the landmark was yesterday celebrated at a function hosted by the National Gas Company (NGC).
