Leading runners hit out at decision to allow tourists Several of Bermuda’s top past and present runners have voiced their disappointment with organisers’ decision to allow overseas athletes to take part in the May 24 Half-Marathon Derby, regarded as one the Island’s biggest sporting spectacles. Gina Tucker, head of the Derby committee, has argued that the move would benefit the tourism industry. Previously the rules had stated that only Bermudians and residents who have lived on the Island for at least three months would be allowed to compete. But the new rule doesn’t sit well with many leading local runners, including former champions Kavin Smith and Mike Watson, as well as Peter Lever and Ricky Sousa, although Smith has accepted the decision because it is already in place for this year.

Les plus grandes star CARIBBEAN Golf Association President Asraph Ali feels that golf is extremely special because it bridges the gender and age gaps which other professional sports do not. He told the golfers, at the official opening of the 53rd Caribbean Amateur Golf Championships at the Provo Golf Course in the Turks and Caicos Islands on Tuesday afternoon, that they should be proud of their sport. The event was officially declared opened by Premier of the Turks and Caicos Galmo Williams while Minister of Tourism Wayne Garland also made brief remarks. The Trinidadian Ali, who is playing in the Higgs and Higgs Trophy (super seniors), said a few years ago he and another super senior male player took on two junior girls and the playing field was level. “Which other sport in the world does this happen?” But the bridging aspect of the game is not the only benefit; Ali said “golf makes a positive contribution to the development of people as a whole.” As some of the other speaks, Ali also spoke great things about the headline sponsors of the championships, Bordier Bank, and the volunteers.

Fast Times at Jamaica International Invitational Jamaica’s Yohan Blake clocked a personal best 9.80secs (2.2w) to destroyed a strong line-up in the men’s 100m dash at the Jamaica International Invitational meet last night in Kingston. Blake, 21, ran what onlookers describe as the perfect race to defeat his teammate Daniel Bailey of Antigua (9.94); Mike Rogers, USA (9.96); Michael Frater, Jamaica (9.98); Darvis Patton, USA (10.10); Oshane Bailey, Jamaica (10.12); Richard Thompson, Trinidad & Tobago or T&T (10.16); and Winston Barnes, Jamaica (10.18).

RENCONTRE
MEETING / REUNIÒN
2011
Carole BECKFORD Usain BOLT Publicist ‘‘we get a lot of request mainly because of his personality too, cause outside the fact that he perform well on the field Usain is also an exciting person .’’ You created a company called Carole Beckford & Associates. Would you please present your company to our readers? The principal missions of our company is image management and event planning and marketing.
'Carole BECKFORD I’m currently the publicist for Usain BOLT as well as being a sports manager since returning home to Jamaica. I’ve played professional volley ball and division 2 college basketball for the NCAA in New York.
Primarily for sporting events and atheletes? Yes, our mission is oriented mainly towards sporting activities and celebrities but the government can be considered as one of our clients resulting from past operations. We consider that any major event involving the promotion of our country and brands are important. Our readers are very interested in what you’re really doing for Usain. What is your role being the publicist of Usain BOLT? I’m essentially Usain’s media manager. Together we select media entities with whom Usain will work with. During the competitive season, Usain is covered a lot by various medias thus making the job easier for us. However, during the off season we try to strategically position him
in a way to ensure that we meet demand coming from different age groups, like children. We work with different styles of publication such as business, academics and lifestyle medias. It is our role to make sure that as many people as possible across the world have continuous access to information about him. Being quite a personality, he works with foundation where he makes things for children. He believes that children should be taken care of and that they should all have the opportunity to grow up in a happy environment. This is what his foundation focuses on. Therefore Usain is present not only in publications but non-profit organizations. He has tremendous presence on the social site Facebook with over 4 million fans and he has, I believe just close to 100 000 followers on Twitter. He doesn’t use Twitter a lot, and mostly tweets during his competitions and of course when Manchester Utd is playing. This allows him to communicate widely but yet to a close section of people. A big fan of basket-ball and football (soccer), he has a special relationship for these well known athletes and makes it a point to attend a few games when he has the time. He says he’s going ready for the 2011 World Championship to be in Korea and of course to successfully defend his titles before heading off to the successfully the 2012 Olympics in London.

RENCONTRE MEETING/ REUNIÒN It must be a difficult job sometimes... Difficult is an understatement. We do a lot of traveling, we get a lot of requests from social and non profit organizations as well as high demands from his fans, through fan mails, for autographed pictures and cards from Usain. But this is mainly due to his personality. Despite the fact that he is a terrific athlete, Usain is an exciting person. Reputed for being a kind guy, it is normal that a lot of people want to meet with him. There are some who even fly to Jamaica expecting to catch a glance of him in the streets of Kingston, or to destinations where is to compete.
family. So he’s quite a busy person, as the track and field season is long thus making him work 10 months each year. The other two months are dedicated to sponsoring commitments. So he rarely gets time off with such a busy schedule and now for the next two years that’s gonna be hectic.
Is he really a nice guy? Yes... His a focused athlete, when he’s competing he focuses on his event, but outside of the competition he enjoys having good parties, and watching or attending good football and basket ball games. The Boston Celtics is his favorite basket ball team. At the same time, he is still down to earth and has his childhood friends with whom he hangs out with playing video games as well as taking the time to be with his
When you started working with Usain, was he already a star? He was a young champion. This is my second year working with him, but I’ve known of him before. After Beijing, when he won the gold medal title, I think that the team decided that at that point they needed to have assistance and a manager to respond to the sudden media demand.
If you had to describe Usain, what would you say? He’s a very focused individual that takes competition seriously. But he’s also quite a happy young man. He has very good friends, his friends has been friends for a long time and yes he ‘s really a pretty good guy. why did you create this event?
‘‘The Caribbean is at the moment becoming much more known for their contribution to the athletic world than just a place.’’ Why did he choose you? What makes you so different from the others? I don’t know. I think that I was just in the right place at the right time and I try to contribute significantly to the job.

So lets talk about «The Business of Sport» conference,
The Business of Sport is critical for the region as we have amazing talent in the Caribbean. We are an over supplier of talent! And I believe that if the Caribbean were to become a host of sporting events, they would have the support of their athletes. By athletes I mean, football, basketball, soccer players, track & field athletes, volleyballers and those institutions training these people, as well as being equipped with technical capacities. Why then not have management?

understood the business, they came prepared to discuss how we could move forward. After this first event, what is the next step? The conference is a bi-annual event but as Jamaica is celebrating fifty years of independence next year, we are going to host a special edition. Right after this conference, we will prepare an action plan and will see what the gaps are. We will talk with our academic institutions and our policy leaders to create an opportunity to move forward. I think at this stage, we can’t want immediate actions meaning immediate results but at the same point we need to start something and somehow.
Norman J. SAMUDA - Sherry ANDRE, Event Manager, Miami Heat Photo The Business of Sport
The Caribbean is at the moment becoming much more known for their contribution to the athletic world than just a place. Countries such as Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Curaçao to some extents Cuba and the Bahamas have continued to produce top class athletes and I think that the region has strong academic institutions equipped to train these people. So I think that the Business of Sport should be taken from an academic context of right down to the field. So we talk about putting in policies to ensure that we obtain the right support. So you think that we are suffering due to fact of our ability to produce great athletes in an unprofessional environment.. Absolutely. Business is all about creating jobs and incomes. So I think once we have integrated that idea we then can improve the quality of living here in the region. It’s not a bad thing to collaborate with international partners, but we should try ensure that we meet the demand by supporting our own by being professionals. I think the region has professionals but I don’t think the business of sport has been a focus. After competing in international competitions, I think the academic system
Norman PEART, Usain Bolt’s manager - Christopher L. SAMUDA Photo The Business of Sport
We are going to find the people qualified in this domain and work with international universities that have offered their support for example. Johnson & Wales University is here, with a hospitality and sport management school, therefore we can establish an exchange program to ensure that we can meet the demand of these fast growing industries.
Do you sometimes think about French territories in these projects don’t you have the feeling that they are isolated from what is going on or changing in Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados etc... The Caribbean will always be French, English and Dutch. We have a relationship with Guadeloupe and Martinique in the traditional sectors. But if we can combine our efforts in sport, and everybody I think has their own market and their own niche, and together we can effectively combine our strengths. How did you choose your speakers and topics? The topics were very easy, I didn’t re-invent really, I think the order of the topics came based on the way we wanted to approach it. The speakers were people I have already worked with. I mean I studied in the United States, and I worked intensively in sporting sector, I sat on several committees and realized several projects. For the first conference I called upon my friends, most of these people represented here are people I worked with at some level. It was important to get them, as they

RENCONTRE MEETING/ REUNIÒN Will this conference always be held in Jamaica or do you envision exporting it? We’ve gotten some requests that once back with our team we will sit down with our hosting partners and other international partners and lawyers to see how to proceed. It obviously could become a franchise but at the same time it’s the first year. Certainly what we could say is that the conference will be held bi-annually and the next official conference will be in 2013, but there is going to be a special edition for Jamaica in 2012 for his fiftieh anniversary.
201
What is Carole BECKFORD’s next dream or challenge after organizing such a conference and already being Usain BOLT’s publicist? It’s a hard question. I also lecture at a local college and think ultimately to become a university professor. That’s my goal for now, and to continue to educate people about the business of sport. I think it’s important. The Caribbean is known for traditional stuff, you know beaches, basic travel, sugar cane, rum... if we create our own opportunities for business outside of the traditional arena then we ‘ll be meeting economic and social needs at the same time, and it may very help us to become more developped.

REPORT REPORTAGE/ INFORME
Happy Birthday Carifta Games....
The better Junior Competition in the world
This was indeed a happy birthday that is offered the Carifta Games for its 40 years. The party was the meeting in the Catherine Lobby Sport Complex of Montego Bay.
