“Your dedication to your craft and your ability to shine on the global stage resonate as an inspiration—an embodiment of the results that stem from unyielding effort, perseverance, and an authentic love for what one does. Lindon Victor, your achievements stand as a beacon, casting light on what is attainable through hard work and a passion that knows no bounds. Grenada stands united in immense pride!” the post by the Minister read.

He added that he must emphasize that your accomplishments extend beyond you; they are a culmination of the support of a community and the steadfast guidance of your family, coaches, friends, and, by extension, GRENADA. To Lindon’s family and his dear coaches, your pivotal role in his extraordinary journey is acknowledged with gratitude.

Additionally, he praised Team Grenada for their exceptional participation in the sporting event. “In this time of celebration, let us not forget to extend our appreciation to Team Grenada: Kirani James, Anderson Peters, and Halle Hazzard. Your exceptional performances at the games do not merely add to our national pride; they serve as a wellspring of motivation for budding athletes and our entire community,” the Parliamentary Representative noted.
