The Dominica Olympic Committee has backed Dominica's table tennis athletes as they take part in the inaugural ITTF Americas Elite Training Camp in Santo Domingo. Natalia Daway and Jahry Prince are among the athletes representing Dominica at the camp, which is being held under the International Table Tennis Federation's regional programme for the Americas.
The athletes are working under the guidance of coach Malkijah Auguiste. The Olympic Committee's support is intended to help the Dominican players develop their skills alongside competitors from across the region, giving them access to high-level training that is not readily available at home.
The camp marks the first edition of the ITTF Americas Elite Training Camp, a new initiative aimed at strengthening table tennis in the region. For a small nation such as Dominica, participation in a programme of this kind offers athletes the chance to test themselves against stronger opposition and to learn from coaching and training methods used by more established table tennis nations.
The Dominica News Online report on which these details are based did not give the full dates of the camp or a complete outline of its programme, and further information on the training schedule and the athletes' results at the camp has not been confirmed. Dominica 1 will report further developments as they become available.
