Tiger's awe-inspiring skills have earned him a spot among the top twenty in the world, with strong prospects of clinching a medal at the Paris Olympics. Tiger's qualification stemmed from his remarkable performance, securing second place at the 2023 PANAM Games in Santiago, Chile, marking his debut Olympic appearance.

Our team will be under the experienced leadership of Joel Rayne, who will assume the role of Chef de Mission of the delegation at the Paris Games, complemented by the capable Mr. Thomas Greenaway as Team Manager. The team will be supported by a Chaperone, Ms. Karen Joseph. A team official is in place for each sporting discipline, Michael Tyson, Team Official for Sailing, Mr. Jamille Nelson for Athletics, and Nelson Molino-Fojo along with a team doctor, Dr. Philmore Benjamin, and physiotherapist, Keston Daley to ensure the well-being and optimal performance of our athletes.

To prepare for the Games, athletes in the disciplines of Swimming and Athletics will arrive two weeks ahead of their competitions to participate in the prestigious training camp hosted by Paman Sports. This camp, dedicated to athletes from the Americas, aims to provide professional training facilities and an opportunity for acclimatization in anticipation of the forthcoming challenges.

 

In the meantime, we take this opportunity to release, Team Antigua Barbuda leisure wear and tracksuit. The attire is designed using the colors of our flag, highlighted by the sun of the flag. The athletes will compete in the Adidas competition wear provided by the Olympic Solidarity uniform program as well as additional Adidas leisure and podium wear.
