Carifta Games, what kind of games is this?
CARIFTA——
Caribbean Free Trade Association
Caribbean Free Trade Area
The inaugural edition of the Games was held in 1972 as a competition for youth in two categories, U17 and U20.
The Caribbean, including Jamaica, the Bahamas and Barbados, is a country that excels in explosive projects.
Although it is a regional competition for teenagers, each event is very lively. This year, local superstars such as Bolt and Fraser came to help, and IAAF President Sebastian Ko also came.
We went on to talk about the relay, where the Jamaican girl ran 42.58 seconds, including twins, Tina Clayton and Tia Clayton, born in 2004, who also finished the 100m single-time runner-up, 11.22 seconds + 11.30 seconds.
