Rowley salutes achievement

Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley yesterday extended congratulations to Jehue Gordon on winning a gold medal in the 400-metre hurdles at the IAAF in Moscow.

In a media release, Row­ley said Gor­don has now joined the “long list of accomplished athletes who excelled to the highest levels in internation­al sports” and “we salute him”.

“The victory is as a direct result of hard work, dedication and, most of all, discipline; these are some of the values which the patriotic citizens of Trinidad and Tobago embrace in their daily lives,” he said.

Rowley said the achieve­­ment came at a time when “the nation is in need of wholesome inspiration”.

“We thank this young man for remin­ding us all that great things are possible for those who invest positive energies in their pursuits,” he said.
