NEWLY APPOINTED interim president of the Caribbean Association of National Olympic Committee (CANOC), Brian Lewis, is fully aware of the challenges which he would be facing over the next four months after he was unanimously elected to serve in that capacity, following the recent resignation of former president Steve Stoute.

Barbados' Steve Stoute has been declared honorary life President of the Caribbean Association of National Olympic Committees (CANOC) after stepping-down as head of the body he has presided over since it was founded in 2003.

Stoute was replaced as President on an interim basis by Trinidad and Tobago's Brian Lewis during an Annual General Meeting in Guadeloupe last week after honouring a commitment to relinquish the role following Rio 2016.
