Passion First

Victory Never Looked Better!

From Tokyo with Passion, Grit, and Determination:

When passion ignites the journey, victory... whether gold or silver... becomes more than just a medal. It becomes a story of heart, perseverance, and national pride. This past week in Tokyo, Trinidad and Tobago’s own Jereem Richards carved his name into athletic lore with a silver medal in the 400 m, while Keshorn Walcott soared to gold in javelin. But among those triumphs, Richards’s silver shines as a testament to tenacity.

Then came Walcott, reclaiming global supremacy in the javelin with a winning throw of 88.16 m. For an athlete who first stunned the world in 2012, this gold was more than a title—it was redemption earned through years of unwavering resolve.

“It feels great, it feels great, it’s been a long 13 years … It’s painful, but it’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”

🥈 Jereem Richards: From Patience to Podium

In the men’s 400 m final, Richards sprinted through lanes to claim silver in 43.72 s, smashing the national record.

“I didn’t give up. I kept asking God for patience … when my time came, it came.”

When I see a painting of passion painted in sweat, struggle, and triumph, this is what it looks like. Richards’s silver wasn’t second place… it was a stirring proclamation that faith, work, and resilience can shatter history. Combined with Walcott’s gold, it marks a defining moment for T&T athletics and reaffirms that with passion comes victory.
