A weblog by Jonathan Ali


Tuesday, August 26, 2003  

"It's rather small on the map, but it's rather bigger now."

--St. Kitts and Nevis's Kim Collins, speaking of his twin-island nation, after he won the gold medal in the men's 100m at the World Championships in Paris on Monday evening; second was 18-year old Darrel Brown of T&T. Collins also noted that the crowd in the Paris stadium was larger than that of his entire nation (approx. 39,000); he also opined that, next to gaining independence from Britain, his victory was the biggest event in his nation's history.
