Feedback from :

C. P. Ricardo Allicock, Ambassador of the Embassy of Jamaica in Japan “A friend from my school days runs a Triathlon Association and we received a request for transport cooperation through the Jamaica Olympic Committee on this occasion. It was a good opportunity to develop sports ties between both countries, and I am delighted that this project went ahead while I was Ambassador. I hope the athletes who practice with the bikes will be able to participate in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.”
