                           With nicholas paul




             Trinidad & Tobago’s flying 200-meter
             world record holder goes into Paris as the
             nation’s best hope for an Olympic medal.
             Nicholas Paul’s blistering speed will be
             on full display at the Olympic
             Velodrome, where the quiet man of
             track sprinting transforms into a red,
            white & black blur, continuing his
            trajectory towards winning the one honour
            that is missing from his and his nation’s
            collection: an Olympic cycling medal.
            A relaxed but confident Paul was
            interviewed by Sheldon Waithe two
            months before the Olympic Games.




             SW: Nicholas, in the three years since the
             Tokyo Olympics and the disqualification
             in the quarterfinals of the Sprint, you have
             been busy, with Commonwealth and
             Pan Am Games gold medals, two silver
             medals at the World Championships,
             plus a host of other medals at the
             global level. How have you
             progressed since Tokyo?
             NP: It’s been a long while since
             Tokyo, the sport has come a long
             way and I’ve been doing the hard
             work and reaping the benefits.
             It’sbeen a hard three years, lots
             of ups and downs, but at this
             point I’m in a great place, with
             great form; now its just to hold it
             until the big day.
