Beaming with national pride, several Cayman Islands athletes returned home on Monday, 8 Aug., after recording personal best times, qualifying for finals, and capturing a plate gold medal during the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.

“Obviously, I am extremely blown away by the games and proud of our athletes who performed very successfully,” Lori Powell, president of the Cayman Islands Olympic Committee told the Compass.

Representing Cayman were 21 athletes competing across swimming, athletics, boxing, squash, cycling and gymnastics.
