Javed Mounter, cycling’s latest sensation, was the star of the evening for bringing home a silver medal at the recent Pan American Junior Championship in Argentina.
The Barbados Cycling Union in conjunction with the Barbados Olympic Association (BOA), sponsors and family paid tribute to the upcoming world-class rider at the BOA’s headquarters, Wednesday.
Mounter brought pride to Barbados with its second medal at such an event. Unfortunately, he had to battle temperatures below 10 degrees and a tight chest, which prevented him from seizing the chance to take the gold.
General Secretary of the BOA, Erskine Simmons outlined the monitored development of Mounter from the tiny mites to the stage where he was about to embark on even bigger things for his country.
Earlier, Roger Moore of Nasco indicated that the company was happy to maintain its sponsorship of Mounter and hinted at even greater support to match the output of the cyclist. (KB)
