All right. Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to the home stretch with Adrian Durant. Today we have another special guest.

Sprinter from Trinidad in Tobago. Renee Kwaow. Thank you for joining us.

Yeah, man. Thanks.

And Ashley, thanks for joining us as well. Once again.

Yes, I am here.

So a little bit about Renee's background. He's a world champion in the 4x4 also silver medalist at the 2015 world champs in Beijing and a bronze medalist in the open 400 at the 2009 world in Berlin.

Multiple times CAC gold medalist on what are top sprinters of the Caribbean and also the only 400 meter sprinter from Trinidad ever to be in the Olympic and the world final.

And only 400 meter run from Trinidad to make it in every major 400 meter final.

So impressive, impressive resume, personal best in the 443.

So, uh, Renee, how did you get how did you get started in track and field?

I guess started. Yeah, what was what got you going? Yeah, you got to take us back.

Shoot, this is way back, but it's all right. I got time. But, um, let me see, he started when I was like nine.

You know, I saw him a best friend.

Um, running.

And I've never seen anyone move that fast before and I wanted to.

I wanted to do what he did, you know.

Uh, his name is, uh, his name is Damon Douglas. And he impressed me for like, he's the one that had me inspired, you know.

And, uh, when I started beating him, I, you know, I started imitating everything he did, everything, like what he ate.

I was just a friend of him. I used to go home by him. I used to do everything. He did walk like him, talk like him.

Because I wanted to know his secret.

And, uh,

we trained together and I started beating him after a while, a couple of years later.
