Triple jumper Justin Donawa insists he doesn’t feel any added pressure to repeat his gold medal-winning feat of 12 months ago at the upcoming Carifta Games.The 16-year-old will be competing in a higher division this year, the Under-20 category, and admits he would be more than content with a podium finish.Donawa leapt into the Island’s sporting conscious at last year’s Games when he ended Bermuda’s lengthy gold medal drought with a personal best in the Boys’ Under-17 triple jump at the National Sports Centre.The son of veteran distance runner Jay Donawa soared to 14.63 metres on his first attempt to surpass Bermuda’s previous best of 14.58 metres set by Stephen Woodley in 1991.Despite the expectation on his young shoulders, Donawa only the fourth Islander to win the Boy’s Under-17 triple jump at Carifta said he is simply focused on jumping to his potential.“A podium finish will be a bonus for me,” said Donawa, who attends Berkshire School in Massachusetts. “I don't feel pressured in any way to repeat my performance of last year and win a gold medal in the Under-20 age group this year.“I would love to win a gold medal in the event in a new age group, but that's not my main goal. If I finish last and I’m happy with my performance and I jumped far that's all that matters to me.“I feel like my training has been good enough is these past couple weeks, therefore I feel as if I will do well in the event.“However I'm not too fixed on a podium finish but I'm focusing on improvement and getting a personal best in the triple jump in The Bahamas.”Donawa is among Bermuda’s squad of 23 athletes who head to the Bahamas today where they look to improve upon their haul of six medals last yearInjuries to last year’s Under-20 triple jump champion Latario Collie-Minns (16.35) and twin brother Lathone (15.55), who finished second for the Bahamas, will further boost Donawa’s chances of medalling.“My training leading up to the Games has been pretty good although the three weeks that I recently spent on the Island were my first and last real training sessions before the Games,” he said.“I’m aware of the twins from the Bahamas who usually dominate the competition are unfortunately injured and are not able to compete.“This does not change my approach or mindset towards the competition. I still need to go out there and compete at my best no matter what.“However, with them not competing and me jumping at my best I have a better shot at medalling this year, but we will see.”
