4 Sports: Cricket is one of the most popular sports of Trinidad and Tobago, with intense inter-island rivalry with its Caribbean neighbors. Trinidad and Tobago plays Test Cricket, One Day International as well as Twenty20 cricket as a member of the West Indies team. The national football team qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup for the first time by beating Bahrain in Manama on 16 November 2005, making them the smallest country ever (in terms of population) to qualify.

5 Economy: Trinidad's economy is strongly influenced by the petroleum industry. Tourism and manufacturing are also important to the local economy. Tourism is a growing sector, although not proportionately as important as in many other Caribbean islands. Agricultural products include citrus, cocoa, and other products. According to the World Bank, Trinidad and Tobago ranks 69th in the top high-income economies of the world.

During his reign as the 100 meter Olympic champion, he also appeared on postage stamps and was awarded Trinidad and Tobago's highest honor, Trinity Cross, in 1978. In 2000, he was named the Trinidad & Tobago Athlete of the Millennium. He is a member of the Caribbean Hall of Fame, along with Ato Bolden and Arthur Wint, one of only three track and field athletes to be inducted.
