With the Jamaica Athletic Invitational set for the National Stadium on Saturday, international athletes are spending their time on the island having fun under the Caribbean sun! STAR Sports got their reactions to what they want to do or have been doing while on the island.

KYRON MCMASTER

British Virgin Islands

This might sound weird, but I want to go to the river and fish. I've heard about the rivers so I'm actually staying a few days after, so I'm heading out to the mountains and seeing what the mountains have to offer to be honest.

CHRISTIAN COLEMAN

U nited States of America

For me, I would say it's just trying different food, trying some good food, because you go to a lot of the Diamond League meets around the world and like, the food is usually not up to par, but since I've been here, everything has been good, so I'm just trying the restaurants.

MARIE-JOSEE TA LOU-SMITH

Cote d'Ivoire

I told my husband that I wanted to visit the Bob Marley Museum. I knew Jamaica before track and field because of Bob Marley, so I was like, 'I need to go'. I don't know if we'll have the time but that would be nice.

DINA ASHER-SMITH

Great Britain

I might go see my family. I'm leaving kinda quickly on Sunday so I'm hoping to get some time for a family dinner. That would be nice. I saw on Twitter that someone said they had a box of patties for me. I already ordered some, but some patties would be great.

MATTHEW

HUDSON-SMITH

Great Britain

I want to go where my mom grew up. My mum and nan grew up in Jamaica, so I want to do that and eat oxtail, so that's it. They grew up in Hanover.
