Sprinter Tre Houston has ruled out ever joining the growing trend of athletes switching their allegiances to Great Britain, insisting: “Bermuda is where my heart is.”The UK-based runner was asked whether he would represent Great Britain while starring in a TV short, highlighting the contentious issue of North American athletes changing their nationalities to further their career.In recent months Jamaican Julian Reid, Anguilla's Shara Procter and USA pair Shana Cox and Tiffany Ofili have all crossed the pond to compete for Great Britain.But Houston, who like all Bermudian athletes is eligible to represent the UK, said he would never even consider making such a controversial move.“(The film crew) asked me if I'd ever switch sides and I told them ‘no' because Bermuda is where my heart is,” said Houston. “Bermuda opens plenty of doors for me so I can have a brighter future in sprinting.”As a duel status athlete, Houston was an ideal candidate to appear in the Channel Four shoot which filmed him running in both Bermuda and Great Britain's colours. And the 21-year-old said he sympathised with those who believed it's unfair that athletes were granted UK passports much quicker than non-athletes.“The TV piece was basically being directed to those athletes who are coming from the United States, switching nationalities to run for the GB team because they're not able to make their own team,” said Houston, who represented the Island at last year's Commonwealth Games in India.“This is deemed unfair because they will earn a passport faster than others (in order) to be clear to represent GB.“The opportunity came about through my team-mate who actually hooked me up because I'm able to represent both Bermuda and Great Britain.“I played both roles while doing different shots and angles while running, such as close-ups, body shots and foot placement.”Houston, who trains under world-renowned sprint coach Tony Lester in West London, said filming the commercial had been an enjoyable experience and had inspired him to run quicker times this season.“Once they edit everything it will be viewed all over the UK on Channel Four, so I hope it comes out excellent because it was a great experience but at the same time tiring,” said Houston.“It seems like things are coming to me slowly (and) I hope to get more opportunities like that because I was over the moon about it. It gives me much more confidence to go harder with the sport, (which) I really have a passion for.”Houston will compete at this year's Pan-Am Games in Mexico and hopes to qualify for the World Championships in South Korea.n Bermuda will send a team of ten athletes to the CAC Senior Championships to be held in Mayaguez in Puerto Rico, which starts on Friday.Lamont Marshall, Darico Clarke, Jasmine Brunson, Andrea Jackson leave the Island today for the Enchanted Isles, where they will meet up with team-mates Tyrone Smith, Aaron Evans and Houston.Donna Watson, Bermuda Track and Field Association president, said: “We are expecting some good performances from our senior athletes and I'm looking forward to the competition.”
