Olympic Medalists!!



This blog goes out to all of our Olympic medalists!! The above photo was taken at The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago which is located in Port of Spain opposite the Brian Lara Promenade near the Hyatt Hotel. Here art is represented in sporting form. This blog will be related to my post on the Brian Lara promenade. The myriad of accomplishment that Trinidad and Tobago has attained over the years has attracted tourists from all over the world! The location of this artistic piece stands out bright and highlights all of our Olympic Medalists from Trinidad. Tourists who come to visit Trinidad will see the great success that this little country has achieved. From the record breaking Brian Lara to the most recent Olympic gold medalist, Keshorn Walcott. This representation shows all of the Olympic Medalists dating as far back as 1948. Urban geography is strongly related to this city as there are so many different things that affect the formation of the city such as it’s major centers of attraction. All the different sites act like a magnet for urban development and affect the city in many ways thus attracting people and consequently more services for the people.

Here is a closer view for those interested in seeing all the Olympic medalists from our country!






Below is a video to show when Keshorn Walcott won the Olympic Gold Medal!

  2. The name of the building it was on was labellled "The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago" it was located at the waterfront near the fountain, but the building it was on was that of what i posted. I added in the other directions so if anyone ever went they could have seen the building from other reference points.
