Local success sparks new wave of enthusiasm for sport
The Island's sports coaching co-ordinator is advising clubs to prepare for a boost in participation in 2020.
It's an Olympic Games year with the quadrennial event taking place in Tokyo this time around.
Many people were inspired to take up new sports after the London 2012 Games, while Manx shooter Tim Kneale almost medalled at the event four years ago in Rio.
Trevor Christian believes success stories often spark a new wave of sporting enthusiasm:
FC Isle of Man on their travels to face Trafford
Cycling: Bostock bound for 2026 Tour of Britain
Cricket: IoM men finish fifth at T20 World Cup qualifiers
Football: 2026/27 Manx season to begin this weekend
