Dominica’s Olympians
Dominica is a small island country with only 70,000 people. Yet we have sent athletes to the Olympics several times over the past few decades. We are, indeed, very proud of all of Dominica’s Olympians!
2024 marks a banner year, with Thea LaFond earning Dominica’s FIRST EVER GOLD MEDAL at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Congrats Thea!! #DominicaStrong
