OLYMPIAN Chris ‘Fireman’ Brown has began the process of getting the inaugural Grenada Invitational off the ground.

Brown, the five-time Bahamian Olympian, was in Grenada last week to put the framework in place for the invitational, scheduled for April 8, 2017 at the National Athletic Stadium in St George’s, Grenada.

During the visit, Brown met with a number of dignitaries, including Rudy Grant, the Grenada Tourism Authority’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Brown, 38, was invited to assist in the organising of the meet by Michael Bascombe, the meet organiser.

Bascombe, a veteran journalist who works out of New York, is also the president of the Caribbean Sports Journalist Association (CASJA).
