COngrats to our Athletes!
Was that a govt minister I saw, I thought the OBA said that they wouldn’t take such trips……
oh sit down, if you wanna complain, write to RG and ask them why they couldn’t plaster Carifta sucesses on their front page instead of a giant 5X8 photo of a paddle board enthusiast (sorry Mr. Paddle Boarder but RG are jus plain wrong)….sorry BERNEWS you’ll probably have to edit this one!
Oh please don’t start your trash talk. Can’t you just say congratulations to these young people who have worked so hard to achieve their goas. . So what if a Govt minister was there, what’s the big deal, I’m sure other countries had their ministers represented. If you have nothing to positive to add, STFU
