All focus will be pool side as Dominica gets its campaign underway at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games on Friday.
National Swimmer Warren Lawrence will be the first athlete on deck as he makes history to become the first swimmer to represent Dominica at the Commonwealth Games.
The 18-year-old, who is the son of former Olympic Swimmer Woodrow Woody Lawrence will participate in the Men’s 50 meter butterfly heats and Men’s 100 meter backstroke heats.
The events will get underway at 10:30am (5:30am Caribbean Time) at the Sandwell Aquatics Center in Birmingham.
The purple colour is to mourn for our missing national birds! 💜 I think we have all forgotten them. 😔
A colour of the national flag would have been more appropriate for the blazers. However, I wish all the athletes great success. Let’s GO DA!
What do these purple jackets have to do with our culture and Dominica? How do these purple jackets feature in our national consciousness? Are we burying Dominica? Is this the funeral of Dominica? Such poor choice and poor taste in colour for such a beautiful colourful nature island! Why the colour of the dead?
Why a purple blazer though? Can anyone help me on this? And who made it? lol
Garçon think, we don’t have a bishop again so what better than to use the surplus purple cloth for our athletes costume. That is resilient thinking my boy.
