BRING HOME THE GOLD
How exciting. Congratulations. Good luck for the next round.
Well done inspiration to all BVI youth. Also credit as well to our swimmer second in her heat.
Congratulations to bvi and Jamaica
Kyron you made us so proud!
He ran in lane #2 and looked good.
Cruised it. Looking forward to the business end. Keep the focus, Kyron. Bringing good news, cohesive celebration and inspiration to the BVI
With all that’s going on, it’s worth remembering that in sport, in beneficial ownership registers, in wanting self sufficiency in energy and food, in natural disasters, we are all one BVI. The division is only sewn for political manipulators (as in any country).
Even to qualify for the Olympics is an achievement To advance to the semi finals is huge. BIG UP to Kyron and to our swimmer… second and moving forward
