  5. I doh know; so I must ask: Ah wander wa happen to do Cuban Castro loan to Skerrit fu repersent he in Rio?

    I doh know; so I must ask wa happen to de Dominica born speed demon who represent Dominica in all phases of race internationally.

    I suspect the duo never came close to qualifying to run in Rio. So, the best dress cloth (the threads) the sported could not get them to participate in any race.

    And bway, I thought we name Nature island couldda pave we way to qualify we fu run eh! me think dem would say since alyou live primitave, and can run like wild deer in bush alyou doh have to pass in de trials, Skerrit is king of de jungle so because him name Skerrit, king ah Dominica we go let alyou run!

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahah!

    The Grenada kid was very visible, he once again took home a meddle to Grenada; he did not get the goal this time, the South African was just too fast for everybody in that class so, Silver for Grenada!

    Yes it struck again.

    Not only in Brazil, but also within the China- Dominica vs (trying to mash up Q95’s capacity to highlight the other side). China should stop engaging in the violation of the freedom of speech in Dominica! They should stop blocking the darn radio station as they have expertly doing in their country.

    Kamala is so senseless to ask such a silly question with the reference to Obama’s statement on term limits. This US law is clear on term limits. Obama was talking about the legal process that should be changed in these Third World Countries. If he could have ran again and chose not to then Kamala’s question would have been relevant.

    This a problem that should be addressed: Caribbean and African leaders look at simply do not understand that seat to leadership in the country is not an inherited or birth right. If term limits is enacted, then they will try to perform much better.

    The man with the attitude and the speed to go with it. The only other sports man who had that bold aggressive and could match the results to suit in sport was Sir Vivian Richards. Looking forward to the 200 and 4x 100 relay.
