    Job well done. I sincerely hope the Government take notice. Our coaches need to be paid and our kids/athletes need facilities, and our coaches need to be paid. The college campus have ample space to put proper facilities. Pan Am sports and other sporting entities will assist, Stop putting a stranglehold on development.

    Its High Time we stop lollygagging. Olympic committee, lets get the ball rolling. Look how long we talking about a swimming pol a the college, and a huge hole in t he ground in Virgin Gorda. But I guess we have to wait for election to hear a bunch of empty promises.

    Congrats to all the athletes and coaches. You all did the Virgin Islands proud!
