    The public can sit at our phones and make our comments as to how an athelete should perform when the majority of us cannot even run to the toilet to get there in time before we pisss ourselves. I applaud Miss Hodge and every sports person out there doing their best and carrying a flag that don't feed them. They come first and bring in gold and silver medals and we big them up, they fall below what we think they should get and we pull them down with the same mouth. These young people are humans just like all of us. They train harder, give up alot of social time to sacrifice on the track, tear tendons and get muscle cramps, not feeling 100% but still out there pushing.

    Keep up the good work young lady and I for one proud of you. I don't know her and I don't have to know her, but I a mother who root for everybody child out there doing positive things.

    Waste of BVI money to send Ms. Hodge to the Olimpics. She will be ready for the next time around. Her mother need to stop pushing her and allow her to develope. Stop living your life through your daugher and get up and work. Stop being a monkey on your daugher back. When you had the opportunity you should have persude it.

    I agree. They are pushing her a bit too hard. She should have focused on CARIFTA and leave this Olympics talk until the next go around when she would have been more mature and mentally ready. I’m a big fan but now is not the time, especially if she’s coming off an injury.

    You all realize she's the only female Athlete the BVI has so far. So what's the problem. That's why we Jamacians move the way we do we push or athletes. Last year when she won it was ok but due to her injury you all coming behind false names and talking gabbage. Congrats Miss Hodge We Ja. love you.

    Stop being jealous of people children.
