HE MAY WEAR USA on his chest, but Christian Taylor definitely has Barbados at heart.

The world’s best triple jumper hasn’t ruled out donning the ultramarine and gold after saying he’s still seriously considering representing Barbados at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Taylor, who is born to two Bajan parents and has dual citizenship, left his option for the future in a televised Skype interview on the Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation’s Olympic broadcast yesterday.
