St Kitts and Nevis: The St Kitts and Nevis Olympic Committee (SKNOC) revealed the official pin that the athletes and officials from the twin-island nation will be using at the Paris 2024.
St Kitts and Nevis Olympic Committee stated that these pins were designed by the leading local artist Dennis Richards. The pin created features the Brimstone Hill Fortress and Mount Nevis which are one of the iconic features of the St Kitts and Nevis landscape.
The Committee mentioned that the strong design of the pin evokes the feeling of strength. “This robust design evokes strength, drawing from Brimstone Hill Fortress’ imposing nature and Mount Nevis’s geothermal properties,” SKNOC said.
The St Kitts and Nevis Olympic Committee also extended gratitude to the artist for his diligence and for creating such a thoughtful design. They also thanked the Brimstone Hill Fortress for their permission to use their features.
“We especially thank Mr Richards for his dedication and for submitting a successful design. We also extend our gratitude to the Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park for allowing the use of aspects of their logo,” the SKNOC mentioned.
In addition to this, the committee also shared that the National Park is celebrating 25 years as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The pins created by the renowned local artist Richards will be worn by St Kitts and Nevis representatives throughout their time in Paris for the Olympics 2024.
According to the Olympics tradition, the pins will be exchanged with the athletes and officials from other countries. This fosters international goodwill and embodies the Olympic Spirit.
