Congratulations to Julien Alfred, our St. Lucian star who attended and competed for St. Catherine High in Jamaica, on winning gold and a special big up to our sister island, St. Lucia for winning their first medal in the Olympics."
(I was) hoping that they could get their first Olympic medal and it came as a goal, so I'm sure they're celebrating right now,
I feel honoured just to be an ambassador for my country,
I am the only athlete here from my country, so to be able to come out and get the best possible outcome and put this little island on the map is a privilege,
It’s super tough – words can’t describe how I’m feeling right now. I was so close to that medal I was dreaming of for my whole life.”
I said to myself: just do the best you can. Especially after seeing there were two ridiculously high scores up first. I knew it was going to be insanely hard. I just wanted to enjoy it, do the best I can.”
It has been really difficult, very hard, and as I said before, we’ve had to put it out of our minds.”
It was quite breathless, actually,
Yes and no. He is a talented kid.”
I’d say 99.9% of it was perfect.”
I love that the athletes push me to be my best,
It’s not OK to put people in this position every time. I had a 60-point lead at the world championships, and a 30-point lead here.I don’t know how many times you can come back. I think I’m done with the sport.”
