    This young athlete has shown a lot of potentials and is someone that would make it in the future if he continues to train hard and maintain his fitness and discipline. From seeing his first run in the 100 meters semi finals I saw his athleticism. Sorry that you didn't get that deserved medal in the 4x100m relay.

    I want to see BVI taking part in more events. There are a lot of youths here and you have better facilities and opportunity than many other Caribbean countries. They need to take part in the swimming competitions too.
