Kirani from an early age exhibited a profound and unique spirit of appreciation, humility and respect with an eternal sense not forgetting where he came from, giving back and helping bring unity to his home village, country and the world. Hardship could not stop Kirani’s possibilities to achieve academic and sporting accomplishments, in fact he made history that will never be forgotten; winning World champion in 2011 and 2012 (London) Olympics 400 meters champion. Kirani seized the moment to practice his running even when he had no proper shoes or adequate facility to train, he showed up and respected his trainers, he appreciated the help of everyone, he embraced lofty goals to become a World and Olympics champion, his call for leaders around the Caribbean to provide more resources for youth sports in his role as sport ambassador to his homeland, Grenada.
