Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee(TTOC) president Larry Romany has expressed his gratitude to all the athletes,coaches and sport administrators who devoted tireless effort in 2011 to keep the wheels of local sport T&T turning in what he described as a challenging and difficult economic environment.
In looking ahead to 2012, an Olympic year, Romany is confident that T&T athletes will rise to the occasion in London.
He however called on corporate T&T to get more involved in community and club sport in a meaningful way.
" While the focus will be on the Olympic Games and other high profile international events. We must address the lack of resources available to grassroots,club and community sports."
Romany has also extended to the wider national community best wishes for a happy ,safe and prosperous New Year.
" There are social issues including crime that as a society that we must alleviate. The TTOC in keeping with its Olympism mandate stands ready and willing to do its part ."
