Two Jamaicans are among the 10 nominees women for the World Athletics Women’s World Athlete of the Year.
In a release on Wednesday, World Athletics confirmed that both Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Shericka Jackson are among the athletes selected by an international panel of athletics experts, comprising representatives from all six continental areas of World Athletics, for the 2022 World Athletes of the Year in the women category.
Fraser-Pryce is the World 100m champion, claiming a fifth gold medal in the event, as well as the Diamond League 100m champion. The ‘Pocket Rocket’, who now goes by Mommy Rocket, ran a world-leading 10.62 among her record seven sub-10.70 100m races of the season.
Meanwhile, Jackson is the World 200m champion and Diamond League 200m champion. She ran a world-leading 21.45s to move to second on the world all-time list.
Another woman from the Caribbean, Shaunae Miller-Uibo of the Bahamas, is also among this year’s nominees.
Miller-Uibo is the World 400m champion, World indoor 400m champion and the NACAC 400m champion.
“It has been another memorable year for the sport, and the nominations reflect some of the standout performances achieved at the World Athletics Championships Oregon22, World Athletics Indoor Championships Belgrade 22, one-day meeting circuits, and other events around the world,” World Athletics said.
In its press release Tuesday, World Athletics said a three-way voting process would determine the finalists for the 2022 World Athletes of the Year ahead of the World Athletics Awards 2022.
The World Athletics Council and the World Athletics Family will cast their votes by email, while fans can vote online via the World Athletics social media platforms. Individual graphics for each nominee will be posted on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube this week with a ‘like’ on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube or a retweet on Twitter counting as one vote.
The release said the World Athletics Council’s vote will count for 50% of the result, while the World Athletics Family’s votes and the public votes will each count for 25% of the final result.
Voting for the World Athletes of the Year closes at midnight on Monday, October 31. After the voting process, five women and five men finalists will be announced by World Athletics.
The winners will be revealed on World Athletics’ social media platforms in early December.

Dominica Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has warned the ruling Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP) of the consequences of not putting the people first and remaining faithful to its promises.
He was addressing the SLP’s annual delegates conference on Sunday in Micoud.
The Dominica Prime Minister observed that voting populations are saying very clearly, that political parties must not separate themselves from their people.
As a result, Skerrit, leader of his country since 2004, explained that faithfulness to the people builds trust, protects victory, and secures the future.

“Every politician has a political shelf life or expiry date. Let this man of long-standing caution you, that if you do not put the people first, if you do not deliver, you will quickly grow stale. And you will find that those who welcomed you with cheers will, just as easily, send you on your way with jeers,” he observed.
In this regard, Skerrit explained that the SLP, like all other political parties, has a limited time to deliver on its promises, fulfill its mandate and create its legacy.
“Believe me when I tell you that the time passes very quickly. One year has flown by, and four more will come fast behind the first one,” the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) leader told his audience.
“If you are putting your people first, then their business becomes your business. When you fail to do this, you will find that the people will withdraw the warm welcome they have given you,” he cautioned.
In addition, Skerrit had advice for Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre.

He said that despite the strong cabinet and the nation’s goodwill, Pierre’s walk would be lonely as he seeks solutions to significant development challenges.
Nevertheless, Skerrit urged Pierre to always put the people first.
“In your case, my brother, your challenge is particularly great because you have come to office during what many would argue is one of the most perilous periods in the Caribbean and global history. All eyes are on you, my friend, to formulate the new vision and to drive its fulfillment in the national interest,” he stated.

The government of Saint Lucia is concerned about what Sustainable Development Minister Shawn Edward described in parliament on Tuesday as a ‘pollution scourge’, including marine and plastic litter.
Edward acknowledged that clean-up campaigns are necessary.
But he asked whether it would not be fantastic if the nation could transition towards compliance, behavioural change, and enhanced waste management while depending less on clean-ups.
“Do we have hope? Well, I have hope and we should have hope. I know that our people want to do better and can do better and this government, Mr. Speaker, is committed to the cause of curing the pollution scourge that confronts us today,” the Dennery North MP declared.

“I cringed in my own community Mr. Speaker when I saw the plastic accumulation following the heavy rains,” Edward recalled.
In addition, the Minister observed that, too often, Saint Lucians assert that in their inappropriate waste disposal, they are creating jobs for the poor and disadvantaged.
However, Edward said such inappropriate behaviour creates homelessness and loss of livelihood when the trash clogs the drains, flooding homes, and shops.
“The situation we are contributing to is one of poverty, revenue loss from visitors who are disgusted with the imprudent behaviour and opt for cleaner touristic destination,” the Minister told parliament.

L’année a à peine commencé et déjà la violence s’exprime dans un collège de Baie-Mahault. Une affaire qui s’apparente à du harcèlement scolaire a eu lieu à Maurice Satineau. La maman de la victime a porté plainte. Le collège tente de faire la lumière mais a exclu la victime en attendant.
« Je n’en peux plus de cette souffrance, je pars au paradis ». C’est en substance ce message de Yolande (1), élève de 12 ans, qui a été transmis à Yasmine, sa maman (2). Un message de désespoir assez explicite pour faire paniquer cette maman et la conduire au commissariat. « J’ai décidé de porter plainte pour tous ceux qui ont peur et pour arrêter ceux qui s’en prennent aux plus faibles. » Depuis le début de l’année Yolande est « embêtée » par une camarade de classe qui lui dit des paroles…
