The Ministry of Sports congratulates Mr. Addison James on capturing his first Gold Medal in the under-20 Javelin event at the 2025 CARIFTA Games held in Trinidad and Tobago. Mr. James recorded an impressive throwing distance of 67.48 metres.
The Ministry and the Government of Dominica recognize and celebrate this significant accomplishment by Addison James. This Gold Medal is testament to his hard work and dedication to the sport of Javelin and his unwavering desire
to succeed. We are confident that Addison’s accomplishment will serve as an inspiration to other young athletes across Dominica, encouraging them to dream big and pursue excellence in sport.
We also applaud the efforts of all our athletes who represented Dominica at this year’s Games, including the members of the mixed relay team, who set a new national record in their debut appearance.
Our sincere appreciation goes to the Dominica Amateur Athletics Association, the Dominica Olympic Committee and all partners for their continued support of our athletes and commitment to Dominica’s participation at the CARIFTA
Games.
Congratulations to Addison James on his phenomenal performance. We look forward to his continued growth and future success on the regional and global stage. We wish him all the best in his sporting journey.
while all you congratulating athletes for their own personal achievements the ministry of sport is playing sport with our playing fields and with sports in general …
what you all need to do is to tell us the status of our track and field grounds …when is an Olympic size swimming pool is going to be built so we can participate in move events at the next schedule Carifta game … where all the passport money..according to Reggie Austrie we last in everything
Dominicans should have heard long ago from this Ministry, when the most corrupt political organisation in the Caribbean, the DLP, was forming the fool with playing fields island wide.
HYPOCRITES!
