Congratulations Bermuda! We truly have some talented young folk! Way to go!!
Well Done Guys!!! Congrats to you!!!!!!!
Congrats to ALL of the atheletes from all countries! Ive enjoyed watching the games on TV and wish I would have purchased tickets…and Im not normally even a track and field fan. Great to see some positive hard working young people enjoying the competition and seeing the rewards of their hard work paying off in front of a home crowd. Most of us are tired of the negative stories and bad news and sure could use something positive to see and read for a change. Thanks for giving me something to cheer about! And thanks for giving the young ones in the audience something to look forward to.
@Walla you can purchase tickets for Eastern side of field!

It was such a privilege to see these two young men win medals for Bermuda in front of me. The crowds at the national stadium were awesome. It was so touching to see Justin be greeted by his dad Jay Donawa after winning the Gold. And likewise to be also given a big hug by his coach and great triple jumper Brian Wellman..
Congratulations to Shaquille Dill and Justin Donawa for winning the medals and all the Bermudian competitors, you made us all so proud.
PROUD TO BE BERMUDIAN
Well Done Donawa!!! We celebrated as if it was ours
Had a great time at Carifta…Well done my fellow Bermudians..

Well done Bermuda and everyone! So great to see all countries celebrate together during the closing ceremony!

Proud to be a Bermudian!
I had a ball at Carifta…and am proud of the young people that took part, and won metals…but I have to say something to the coaches, I feel you all need to get your team in better shape and so of your young people that took part felt the same way, how you pick a team just in March and you all know Carifta was going to be in Bermuda 2 years ago…the young people shouldve been trained better. Look at the teams how fit they where. I asked the Jamaica coach myself what they do for there fittness, mind blowing. So I’m saying you have good youth up and coming get it together.
