Next Carifta games charter a Jet and load it up for fans that want to go to the games. It will worth it .Give our athletes support, make noise for them..Make noise for the BVI. We are now a Major player in regional athletics. We just whip the mighty Jamaicans in double sprint one hundred and two hundred. Next We going for the Americans.. We have the talent.
Good to congrats the young lady for a job well done. She’s in her deployment stage. Don’t be too quick and calling out the Jamaicans. They have the records in all these events. Encourage to continue, this is indeed a good start for the BVI.
92 medal love thats what you should try get you sound stupid bout mighty Jamaican get whip do your research we winning this game for 35 year ,every news media carry this story in Jamaica about this girl from the bvi we no hold no gauge dear
Please do your research dear we have been winning this game since 1985, you sound malicious and bad mind about Jamaica listen how the announcer talk about this girl her name is all over the news in Jamaica that to tell you we are happy for her you don’t have to make your comments sound so lets cut out the negative among us everything you all bad mouth jamaican
Your comments were really good until you added “you all bad mouth jamaican”. I agreed with you up until that point where you automatically placed yourself in the same category with @Suggestion for the Govt, which was very foolish indeed. Don’t categorize all of us, I for one and I am sure many other BVIslanders found that comment to be foolish and uncalled for. Address the comment which obviously came from a single and insensitive blogger.
The best is yet to come. Adaejah is indeed a message, drawing out attention to the fact that if only we can invest heavily in the Youths especially in sports development, we would discover more Adaejahs: so many talents that would take us to the center stage of world history in sports. The situation where these young boys, walk round the offices, looking for donation for sponsorship. Sometimes, these young boys had to weed whack to raise money for training camp. Let’s give these bundle of talents what they need. They will give us the gold and silver medals in no time. Once again, welldone Adaejah
Your comments can show who you are and it not what you say is how you say it,do your research and see who are the champion since 1985 until listen to all the announcer in Jamaica and see if any body bashing any body it’s time to stop being self center and she doesn’t not born here go claim you own ,you people only know people when they achieve glory bet if she had commit a crime you wouldn’t own her and a matter of fact almost all the athlete are not from here go look your own (as you all regularly say you not from here
thats there usual talk .. I came there for vacation and I heard one say to another ..island people or “you not from here ” I was like ,, what do they even mean ? I was not familiar with the culture but one thing I gather these people are not nice well some of them .. but again congrats to the team .
That’s why we call oonuh small island, oonuh no reach no where yet and trying to diss the blueprint makers. streeups.?reach
Congrats to her. She had to be really good and fast to have outran two Jamaicans. I see many more gold in her future.
This girl is on fire!!! Excellent talent! She has such excellent form and power when sprinting! Keep going girl!
She deserved the land and 20,000
Did you hear her response to the commentators “I was concerned about making myself proud not anyone else”.
She’s from good stock. Grand dad Allen Hodge and cousin Guy Hill were speed demons back in the day. Her mom wasn’t no slouch either. Congratulations
world Olympics medalist in the making…”fo sur”…
Jamaicans are human beings so please don’t mention them. Jamaicans could not win everything the field is wide open for everyone. Congrats Adaeja . Now is when the BVI will be proud of the athletes especially she wasn’t born in the BVI, her mom is not from the BVI and she wasn’t trained in the BVI just now she’ll be running for America . Only when they shine you all accept them otherwise they are nothing even when them born here.
They were not born here, but where do you think their roots are from. Many Virgin Islanders have had their kids abroad, but that does not make them non Virgin Islanders. She is one of us representing us. BVILOVE
