TRINIDAD and Tobago Olympian Nicholas Paul won the most outstanding cyclist award when the 2022 TT Cycling Federation (TTCF) Awards was held at the National Cycling Centre in Balmain, Couva on Saturday.
Paul, who made his Olympic debut last year in Tokyo, had a memorable year again.
He was this country’s standout athlete at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Paul copped three medals competing at the Lee Valley VeloPark in London, England.
He won gold in the keirin, silver in the sprint and a bronze medal in the 1K time trial.
Special recognition awards were also distributed. The 2020 Olympic team of Paul, Kwesi Browne and Teniel Campbell were honoured for representing TT at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
