Keshorn Walcott has been presented with a cheque for $250,000 under the Elite Athlete Assistance Programme.
The presentation was made yesterday by David Roberts, Acting Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Sport and Community Development.
Walcott is a two-time Olympic medallist in the javelin event.
He recently competed in the Men’s Javelin Final at the Paris Olympics, finishing 7th.
The Ministry says the funding underscores its commitment to fostering the development of T&T’s athletes and enabling their continued success on the world stage.
