HENGELO - During his final participation in the FBK Games, Churandy Martina was awarded the distinction of ‘Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau.’ Martina, renowned for his performances in the 200 meters, is being honored for his contributions to Dutch sports. The sprinter received the medal on the track in the presence of family members who had flown in from Curaçao. 

The holder of the Dutch record in the 100 and 200 meters is likely to join the relay team for his sixth Olympic Games in Paris. The athletics federation will soon make a decision on this matter. During the FBK Games, part of the Continental Tour Gold, Martina bid farewell to his fans and fellow athletes.
