Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (T&TOC) secretary general Brian Lewis considers a potential T&T bid to host the 2018 Commonwealth Games as “realistic”.
Lewis, in Colombo, Sri Lanka for the Commonwealth Games Federation General Assembly, said the feedback is “encouraging”, reports the Trinidad & Tobago Express. “Most people don’t see it as unrealistic us [T&T] wanting to host the games. It is early days but the fact that our Commonwealth colleagues have not dismissed (the idea) out of hand the idea is important”.
Lewis added that the official bid process for the 2018 Commonwealth Games begins in two years’ time, but progressing from the embryonic stage will require discussions between the T&T Government and the TTOC.
