JAAA stands by want-away stars

The Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) said the four Jamaican athletes who applied for a transfer of allegiance are still considered valued members of Jamaica’s track and field following the decision by World Athletics to deny their applications yesterday. Olympic discus champion and record holder Roje Stona, long jumper Wayne Pinnock, triple jump junior record holder Jaydon Hibbert, and Olympic shot put bronze medallist Rajindra Campbell all applied for a switch of allegiance to Turkiye.
