PORT-OF-SPAIN — Olympic gold medalist Keshorn Walcott didn't just return to a hero's welcome in his Caribbean homeland of Trinidad & Tobago. He was also promised a check for about $155,000, a luxury home and roughly 20,000 square feet of land near his hometown. Oh, and a lighthouse and a Caribbean Airlines plane will be named after the 19-year-old javelin champion, too. Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar lavished Walcott with gifts and praise Monday at Trinidad's Piarco International Airport, where a few thousand revelers dressed in the national colors of red, black and white greeted the young athlete. — AP
