Notes from a small island 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. posted by Jonathan | 12:10 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
