St. Lucia is beaming with pride as we celebrate your monumental achievements at the 2024 Paris Olympics! Winning gold in the 100 meters and silver in the 200 meters, you have etched your name in history, and in our hearts. You are a true embodiment of St. Lucian excellence.

Just as our beloved Amazona versicolor (St. Lucia Parrot) and the graceful St. Lucia Oriole soar through our skies, representing the unique beauty of our island, you have soared to incredible heights on the global stage. These endemic birds, like you, symbolize the strength, resilience, and brilliance of St. Lucia. As we work to protect and promote these gems of our wildlife, we honor you as a gem of our nation—flying high, lifting our spirits, and inspiring us all.

In following the path of Daren Sammy, Lavern Spencer, Sir Arthur Lewis, and Sir Derek Walcott, you have secured your legacy as one of St. Lucia’s greatest treasures. Your journey is a testament to what can be achieved through hard work and determination. We wish you continued success and know that you will keep soaring to even greater heights, just like our cherished birds.

Thank you for being the pride of St. Lucia!
