      And all the other people liking your comment, let’s not be silly now. She’s a world class athlete but she won’t be running under 20 seconds in the 200.

      Adejah will be just fine. No government funds is needed for that star power. She will be signing a contract with a name brand sponsor that can sustain her for life plus her winning from athletics participation will take care of her and her family.

      Government needs to invest in the athletic infrastructure for all so she as a professional can come home and train with no borders or obstacles in her way.

      She been receiving funds from Government aka tax payers. Quite a lot as well and before she got to this level and she has also received from other organizations in the BVI as well.

      So this goes to show that we should continue investing in all athletes to help them get to this level as well before they start winning.
