EVEN though the 2024 Olympic Games is billed to get underway on Friday in Paris, the global event has already began in other areas.
One of such is in the area of matters related to representation, with the Ad hoc Division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) already registering its first arbitration procedure.
Ms Nayoka Clunis of Jamaica who was qualified and selected has taken the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) to CAS.
She was to represent Jamaica in the hammer throw competition at the Olympic Games Paris 2024, but eventually her name was not submitted by the JAAA to World Athletics (WA).
Ms Clunis now seeks a decision from the CAS Ad hoc Division directing that she be included on the appropriate list to participate in the hammer throw competition at the Olympic Games.
A panel of arbitrators has already been appointed to decide this dispute, composed of Dr. Annabelle Bennett of Australia as President, Ms Carine Dupeyron of France and Ms Kristen Thorsness of U.S.
It will hold a hearing with the parties on Saturday, with its decision expected to be issued on Sunday.
