There has been talk in Jamaica of a Beach Olympics in 2009. Yesterday, both the Ministers of Tourism and that of Sports met in a news conference along with triple Olympic world record holder Usain Bolt and others and laid out the initial plans for the event.
This may be a far reaching concept but if you consider that Jamaica is a country that is blessed with lots of resources including like the panoramic blue mountains and the beautiful beaches; coffee, rum and now the fastest human being on earth, the proposed 100 yards dash on the beach could be a reality in 2009. According to the two ministers, persons such as financiers, builders, planners, games official and others will participate in this project.
What could derail such an ambitious undertaking? Crime? Well did you know that crime in Jamaica has been around perhaps before Captain Henry Morgan and the Buccaneers of Port Royal? In fact, such an event, which could be considered in the light of vacation, could kindle in the society the need for such laughter and enjoyment amid the constant demand for competition. Perhaps Jamaica could move to the column of the countries that one must visit for relaxation.
