Azan’s Carifta dream gets Century 21 backing

CENTURY 21 HAS announced its sponsorship donation to Samir Azan, who will be competing in the prestigious Carifta Triathlon & Aquathlon Championships in Barbados from August 17-18.

“We are absolutely thrilled to support and sponsor Samir Azan in his journey to the Carifta Triathlon & Aquathlon Championships in Barbados. At Century 21, we believe in nurturing potential and providing opportunities for young talents to shine on the international stage. We look forward to seeing Samir achieve great success and inspire others with his dedication and passion,” said Collet Kirkcaldy, general manager, Century 21.

Azan’s goal will be to successfully complete a 400-metre swim in open water, a 10-kilometre bike ride, and a two-and-a-half-kilometre run. At just 13 years old, Samir is the one to watch in his age group (13-15). This is his second time participating in the Carifta Championships, having first gone to the 2022 aquathlon in Bermuda.

By investing in athletes like Azan, Century 21 aims to encourage young individuals to pursue their dreams and excel in their chosen fields.

“We want to thank Century 21 for coming on board to sponsor one of our athletes. It is not a traditional sport, so getting a sponsor is a big thing for us. We are looking for great things from Samir. He is a dedicated athlete, and we are really hoping to bring home a medal,” said Natasha Cameron Jamaica Triathlon Association coach and secretary-general.
