...well that is good for him, not so much Suriname but hey, maybe they didn't appreciate his skills ( as in didn't want to pay him what he is worth).

Exactly what I was thinking. What I know about some of the (national) sport associations, is that some boards also have their own (hidden) agendas. The Suriname national football team for instance, was making strides under one coach and then he got the boot with little explanation from the board.

Often, we hear or read about what could have played parts, but it's mostly speculation. The public is most of the time left in the dark.

Not all associations though, because other boards are really doing their best to bring the best out of their sports branch.

imagine only seeing a bobsled course when you are in the country for the olympics. But then Jamaica doesn't and will never have the facilities for bobsled practice, just isn't practical in a tropical country.

Yeah, I've seen some news reports about this and I get it. I would've liked an ice rink in Suriname for ice skating, but alas 🙈.

FYI, when the movie came out when I was younger, I had no idea it was based on a true story, until years later. Beautiful story about determination.
