In a partnership mixing the best of Bermuda innovation and sporting excellence, CariGenetics has announced the sponsorship of Olympian Jah-Nhai Perinchief.

Perinchief and CariGenetics have entered a multiyear partnership, which is designed to not only provide comprehensive health insurance coverage but equip the triple jumper with advanced wellness genetic testing to enhance his training, performance, and overall wellbeing.

A competitor at the Paris Olympics last year, Perinchief has competed at the highest level without existing health insurance coverage or major sponsorships, with CariGenetics committed to ensuring he has access to the tools, resources and healthcare necessary to focus fully on training and competition.

“Jah-Nhai exemplifies the spirit of Bermuda – resilient, gifted, and determined,” said Carika Weldon, founder and chief executive of CariGenetics.

“We believe it’s our responsibility to support those who carry our flag and dreams with them. This is not just about sponsorship, this is about legacy, community, and unlocking the power of science to support our athletes in new and meaningful ways.”

As part of the partnership, CariGenetics will provide Perinchief with personalised genetic wellness testing, aimed at optimising his fitness, nutrition, and recovery regimens based on his DNA.

This testing is in collaboration with Apex Physio, led by Craig Brown, who will help Perinchief implement his personalised training strategy on the road to the 2028 Olympics.

“CariGenetics has initiated conversations with other local partners to expand this support model to other elite athletes representing Bermuda internationally, with the aim of building a robust and sustainable support system that eliminates barriers and encourages high-level performance without the burden of financial insecurity.” Weldon said.

“This initiative reflects CariGenetics’ ongoing commitment to health equity, science-driven innovation, and community empowerment — not just in the lab, but on the field, track, and global stage.”
