Sport is facing a steep climb for survival and revival, Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC) president Brian Lewis says.

T&T sporting fraternity has been thrown into mourning with the passing of long-standing sports administrator and pioneer Alexander Bernard Chapman.

In a simple 20-minute service dedicated to honour the life of swimming giant Ralph Lincoln Yearwood fondly called “Uncle Linky” at the Long Circular Crematorium Site in St James, he was remembered as a humble man, “full of jokes” and with a love for music.

The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee and the Trinidad and Tobago Commonwealth Games extends deepest condolences to the family of Mr Alexander B Chapman.
