Live Webcast On Now: 2010 Carifta Games

Scroll down to watch a free live webcast of the 2010 Carifta Games being held in the Cayman Islands from April 3 – 5. The quality is really quite good, and while we were doing this post, we took a few minutes to watch and had the pleasure of watching Bermudian sprinter Jeneko Place win his 100m heat, finishing in 10.76, almost a full 0.2 ahead of the 2nd placer.

Update: First Medal!

• Juma Mouchette was just shown running in the 1,500 metres finals, winning the bronze. He finished in 4:12.82, in a field that included two athletes from Jamaica, a known powerhouse who consistently produce world class track athletes. Bermudian Dage Minors was also in the mix of the 1,500, placing 8th.
