I wish to commend and congratulate all the members of our national team who have achieved the qualifying standard in their respective sport for the London 2012 Olympic Games. This initial step is a major accomplishment in itself. Additionally, I extend my full support to the team officials in their attempts to establish an atmosphere and develop an attitude that would serve as a medium through which each team member can bring out the BEST in himself/herself.
ALL THE BEST TEAM GRENADA!!!
