LIMA - Ato Boldon has long been unrivalled as Trinidad and Tobago’s most famous sprinter but there might just be a challenger on the horizon after Nicholas Paul blitzed to a second Pan Am Games gold in track cycling on Saturday.
Paul led the tiny Caribbean island nation to victory in the team sprint on Thursday and two days later was back in the saddle powering his way to the top of podium in what was a high speed cat and mouse battle with team mate Njisane Phillips. While Paul has been making headlines back home, he does not expect to supplant former 200 meters world champion Boldon any time soon.
Halfway through the program, the Caribbean nation finds itself second in the medal standings and battling the U.S. for top spot.“I got an injury and just started cycling for recovery and fell in love with it,” the 20-year-old shrugged.
