GEORGE BOVELL III...Trinidad and Tobago’s veteran swimmer....returned home yesterday from capturing 16 medals in the FINA/Arena World Cup — 7 gold and 9 silver...The 29-year-old admitted that he will have no time for rest, as he will be in the gym at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo today and, “in the next few weeks, I’ll be looking to return home with a gold medal.”...Bovell also highlighted the fact that he had to seek visas, on his own, to enter Russia and China to compete at the respective World Cup meets but felt proud that his efforts did not go to waste. He also made a plea for corporate Trinidad and Tobago to support sport. “I do not have a sponsor from Trinidad and Tobago and it will be nice to have corporate TT supporting the sportsmen, such as Keshorn Walcott, Marc Burns, Njisane Phillip and others,” he said....
