Jayden Green, take a bow!
Last night in Oregon, Jayden raced to bronze in the men’s 200 metres at the World Under-20 Championships, clocking 20.55 seconds and giving Barbados another proud moment on the international stage.
His performance capped an outstanding week for Barbadian sport. At the CAC Games, Margot Prow won women’s singles gold in squash and joined Meagan Best and Amanda Haywood to capture team gold. Meagan also earned singles silver. Khamal Cumberbatch, Darien Benn and Shawn Simpson secured men’s team bronze, while Jabali Breedy took bronze in men’s 55 kg boxing.
I told you something special is happening in Barbadian sport! We will continue investing in our sportsmen and women and creating opportunities for their talent to flourish.
Every athlete carrying our flag makes us proud. Today, we celebrate these latest podium finishers. Well done, Team Barbados!
@originalkoffee@davido@burnaboy@rihanna this is the collaboration I’ll like see come together and make a reggae/ Afro beat song to take the world by storm!! Make it happen a beg .🫶🏾🇧🇧
Today, we should have been welcoming you to 90, a score you passed so many times and made look so easy. I should have been calling to say, “Happy birthday, Sir Garry,” and listening to that unmistakable laugh.
Instead, on the eve of your final journey, I find myself trying to say farewell.
This embrace now holds a goodbye I did not know I was giving. My heart aches, my friend. Barbados was never going to be ready to let you go.
Happy 90th birthday, Sir Garry. Tomorrow, a grateful nation will carry you home.
