Even though this year’s CARIFTA Games have been cancelled, home-based Barbadian athletes will be back on track this week with the Athletics Association of Barbados’ (AAB) track and field season now set to begin on Saturday behind closed doors at the Usain Bolt Sports Complex.

AAB public relations officer Esther Maynard told MIDWEEK SPORT that a final inspection of the Ryan Brathwaite Track would be carried out this week in preparation for the Back On Track Meet, which will be held in the absence of spectators with all COVID-19 protocols in place.

“We are looking forward to being able to successfully stage the meet. We had a look at the facility and we will have our final on-site planning meeting this week.

“We want to do everything right because the safety of everyone is our biggest concern; that is very important. The clubs and schools must have people to monitor their athletes,” she said. (AGB)
