Chef de Mission Micky Ruben said he hoped the nation was contented with Cain-Claxton’s Women’s T64 100-metre gold exploits. “Everybody in the camp is definitely very happy and Nyoshia herself was happy to break the bronze queen stigma that was lining up on her back,” Ruben said of Cain-Claxton’s second medal of this quadrennial hemispheric Games.

Yesterday afternoon, Cain-Claxton proudly belted out the national anthem, completing her prediction after her Sunday bronze medal in the Women’s T64 200m final.
