Cycling duo in action as Youth Commonwealth begin

Two Kenyans will be in action on Saturday as the Youth Commonwealth Games kick off at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Trinidad and Tobago.

Leading the team will be the duo of Billy Graham and Daniel Kiptala, expected to participate in the Road Cycling - Men's Individual Time Trial scheduled to take place at the Lara cricket Stadium.

The two, will officially start their events at 1840 and 1923 EAT, and in a field that will consist of 30 cyclists in the final.

Graham is embarking on his international debut at the game while Kiptala will be hoping to impress again, after he showcased his potential during his international debut at the African Junior Championships in Aswan, Egypt.

In 2022, Kiptala was poised to secure 6th place on the final stage but encountered an unfortunate bike breakdown, causing him to miss out on the opportunity due to a puncture.

Meanwhile, the 7th edition of the games were officially declared open by the President of Trinidad and Tobago Christine Kangaloo, in an exciting and colorful opening ceremony at the heart of Trinidad.

The hosts Trinidad gave the athletes and local fans a special treat, one with color and pomp, and with a sprinkle of the carnival culture and traditions of the Caribbean.

Host nation Trinidad and Tobago truly outdid themselves.

In attendance at the opening ceremony were NOC-K president Dr.Paul Tergat, and Chef de Mission madam Winnie Kamau.
