Fredericks to inspire athletes

Hoping that his life story will motivate at least one of Barbados’ athletes to achieve greatness Frankie Fredericks of Namibia, who arrived in Barbados moments ago, will deliver the feature address at the National Sports Council’s award ceremony at the Frank Collymore Hall tomorrow evening.
Fredericks who won 100 and 200 silver medals in the 1992 and 1996 Olympics arrived in the island today on a British Airways flight.
The African champion was met by director of the NSC, Erskine King and General Secretary of the Barbados Olympic Association, Erskine Simmons. (KB)
