The Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs is organising a  4 day celebration for  T&T's Beijing Olympic silver medal winning athletes.The Ministry has taken steps to ensure the athletes arrive home at the same time: Emmanuel Callender, Keston Bledman, Richard Thompson, Marc Burns, Aaron Armstrong will now arrive in Trinidad on Monday 8 September on BW 447 from Barbados at 10:00am.
However the airport welcome will be subdued in favour of a larger event to take place in Port of Spain later that afternoon. The athletes will be greeted by their immediate families, and by the Honourable Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs, Gary Hunt. They will then be escorted to a nearby restaurant for lunch, then proceed via motorcade down the Eastern Main Road to Port of Spain where the large celebratory event will take place from 4:30pm.
