St. Kitts and Nevis (WINN):Special Olympian hopefuls on St. Kitts and Nevis will participate in their National Games starting this Wednesday at the Kim Collins Athletics Stadium.
Nadine Natta, Special Olympics Association Board Member, told WINN FM that around fifty athletes will contest a number of events with a view to qualifying for the Special Olympics National Summer Games Sheffield, England in August 2017.
"From St. Kitts and Nevis we have about fifty athletes who will be participating in the Games. We will have athletics on Wednesday, including walking, running and other events. On Thursday we head to Nevis for floor hockey or bocce and on Saturday we have the swimming competitions at the St. Christopher Club in Frigate Bay," she said.
On Wednesday the events begin at 9:30 am and run until 5pm and on Saturday the swimming completion will take place at the St. Christopher Club from 9:30am to 3pm. Teams from Connecticut and St. Maarten will be competing with the local athletes. The teams will all comprise adults and young children.
The Association is extending an invitation to the general public to attend the games and show their support for the Special Olympians. The 2015 contingent to the games returned home with several medals.
"We're asking the general public to come on out and support these events; they are all free of cost so we want you to come and show support for these athletes, cheer them on, and show them that we care about Special Olympics."

BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, SEPTEMBER 21ST 2014 (CUOPM) - Several multi-million dollar resort projects now under construction will assist in meeting the Government's medium-term goal of doubling the number of hotel rooms and the number of stay-over visitors to St. Kitts and Nevis.
Prime Minister the Rt. Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas told a mammoth crowd and scores of visiting diplomats at the Independence Ceremonial Parade that the twin-island Federation continues to move forward at a rapid pace.
"We are truly a Nation on the move. Within a period of two to three years we expect to more than double the number of hotel rooms that we have available in the Federation," said Prime Minister Douglas.
Among the projects he mentioned are the continued development of Kittitian Hill, the expansion of the St. Kitts Marriot Resort, the renovation and upgrading of the Royal St. Kitts Hotel Resort, the construction of the Park Hyatt Hotel, Imperial Resort, Pelican Bay Hotel Resort, the Koi Resort & Residences, the Heldon Estate Hotel, T-Loft at Pirate’s Nest and the construction of a range of other hotel properties approved under the citizenship by investment programme in both islands of Nevis and St. Kitts.
"This will help achieve our medium-term goal of more than doubling the number of stay-over visitors that grace our shores each year," Prime Minister Douglas said.
Other projects undergoing expansion are the St. Christopher Club, Manor, Ocean Edge and Golden Rock Development. Silver Reef is completed.
