A World Champion
I was so busy celebrating Usain Bolt’s double victory , I neglected to listen to the radio shortly afterwards when our own Ryan M Brathwaite from St. Andrew won the gold in the 110m Hurdles and is now the World Champion. I want to join with all others and salute this youngster who, like he said after his disappointing Beijing pull up, “I’m still young”. He has more in store for him and I wish him greater glory ahead.

A World Champion Ryan Brathwaite All Radios tuned into the Sports at Were yesterday listening for our home boy to win On the mark, get set, then a gun blast Revved listeners never knew he got out real fast Leg hit No.1 But he was not thrown Didn’t stumble or slow down, his preparedness had grown Championship medal was waiting up there He reached deep into his heart and stepped up his gear A new swiftness caught the commentator’s eye My ears almost burst when she called out our guy People screamed and Ryan seemed to hear It was so close at the finish he dipped, then silence
everywhere Our guy waited patiently but we at home chanted
Ryan Ryan National Champion 110 hurdler ran 13.14 and
