Director of Sport Steve Ninvalle extends condolences on the passing of National Triple Jump Champion Domon Williams
Kaieteur Sports – Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle, has joined the track and field fraternity in mourning the loss of five-time national triple jump champion, Domon Williams.
Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle said Domon Williams’ passing leaves a significant void in Guyana’s athletics landscape.
Williams, widely regarded as Guyana’s greatest triple jumper, passed away after a brief period of illness.
In recent years, he was based in Jamaica, where he competed at several of the island’s top track and field meets, earning consistent success and strengthening his regional reputation.
Ninvalle extended heartfelt condolences to Williams’ family, friends, and the athletics fraternity. He noted that Williams’ passing is a profound loss not only for those closest to him but also for the wider sporting community.
“The National Sports Commission shares the loss of Domon Williams with the entire track and field fraternity,” Ninvalle said. “His reputation speaks to the passion he had for the disciplines he loved and the pride with which he represented Guyana.”
Williams dominated the triple jump in Guyana for years, maintaining an unbeaten streak at the National Championships.
His personal best of 16.44m stood as a powerful example of his exceptional talent and work ethic.
He also enjoyed an unbroken run at the AP Invitational, Guyana’s premier track and field meet, where he consistently outperformed the field.
His most recent international representation came at the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games, where he placed sixth.
Ninvalle also highlighted Williams’ influence beyond competition, pointing out that his value extended well past the runway and sandpit.
“Domon will also be missed for what he brought to the sport off the field of competition,” Ninvalle added.
According to Ninvalle, “He inspired many young athletes and carried himself with a humility and dedication that earned him respect wherever he went.”
Ninvalle said Williams’ passing leaves a significant void in Guyana’s athletics landscape.
The Director of Sport pointed out that Williams will also be remembered not only for his achievements but for the inspiration he provided to fellow athletes, coaches, and aspiring jumpers across the country.
