At age 21, Ryan Brathwaite gave Barbados its first gold medal at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Germany, when he won the 110-metre hurdles.
But since this memorable triumph, nagging injuries have plagued Brathwaite and left behind a lot of unanswered questions about his future on the track.
In an exclusive telephone interview, from what he said was a secret location in Florida, the United States, Brathwaite breaks his silence after almost a year and talks about his setbacks. He also predicts that he will bring home a medal for Barbados at the upcoming London Olympics.
