2011 CARIFTA Games

The 40th CARIFTA Games was held at the Montego Bay Sports Complex in Montego Bay, Jamaica, on April 23–25, 2011. Initially, the games should be hosted for the second time after 2007 by Saint Kitts and Nevis, but they declared to be unable to stage the games because of financial issues.[1] The games could have been cancelled for the first time in its history, but Jamaica finally agreed to host the games at short notice.[2]
