What an amazing hopefully just a first of more the medal-er accomplishment from out of 4,500 top athletics from 71 Commonwealth nations came one of our very own - a very special and determined Comrade "Silver Medalists" Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace. A Commonwealth Games silver medal of pure pride in one of our very own was hung around the necks of all Bahamalander’s from Island to Island.
A special public shout-out of gratitude goes to the Comrade Vanderpool-Wallace family for raising one classy champion.
