The JOA will sponsor five selected Jamaican athletes in their preparations ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games to the tune of $6 million.

The five athletes include triple-jumper Shanieka Ricketts, 400-metre hurdler Malik James-King, high jumper Christoff Bryan, discus thrower Samantha Hall and hammer throw national record holder Nayoka Clunis.
