Even though the 2024 Olympic Games is billed to commence next Friday in Paris, the global event has already begun in other areas.
One of such is in the area of matters related to representation, with the Ad hoc Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport, CAS, already registering its first arbitration procedure.
Jamaica’s Ms Nayoka Clunis, who was qualified and selected to represent her county, has taken the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association, JAAA, to CAS.
Clunis was to represent Jamaica in the hammer throw competition at the 2024 Olympic Games.
But her name was eventually not submitted by the JAAA to World Athletics.
She now seeks a decision from the CAS Ad hoc Division directing that her name be included on the appropriate list to participate in the hammer throw tournament in Paris.
However , a panel of arbitrators has already been appointed to decide this dispute.
The panel was composed of Dr. Annabelle Bennett of Australia as President, Ms Kristen Thorsness of U.S and Ms Carine Dupeyron of France.
The hearing will take place on Saturday (today ) and a decision is expected to be issued on Sunday, NAN reports.
The 2024 Olympic Games is billed for July 26 to August 11.
