Perinchief Predicted Olympic Games Future
Bermuda triple jumper Jah-Nhai Perinchief was always confident he would one day represent the island at the Olympic Games.
Perinchief, who is making his Olympic debut in Paris, gets his campaign underway today [August 7] in the men’s triple jump qualifiers at the Stade de France.
In a YouTube video from the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China, in 2014, Perinchief said he hoped to represent Bermuda at multiple Olympics.
“Hopefully, I’ll be on my second or third Olympics,” Perinchief said when asked where he would be in ten years.
“It takes hard work, dedication and fair play to become an Olympian.”
Perinchief, a high jumper in Nanjing, appeared in the video with Bermuda sprinter Kionje Somner.
That’s pretty cool. He imagined it, then he said it, then he did the work – amazing the power of combining self-believe, hard work and the word. All the best JahNai!
