Olympian1010 7,470 Posted July 20, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Road To Birmingham 2021 Our First World Champion! The US Virgin Islands has long been without a world champion in it’s long and colorful sports history. That all changed earlier this year when Walford Kimberly became a world champion in the World Games sport of Powerlifting. It was the first time the Virgin Islands flag flew from the highest mast at an international championship! It was an impressive achievement worthy of celebration. Hopefully Walford Kimberly is able to bring the ISV glory again in two years time in Birmingham, Alabama during the World Games. Results: Here “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted July 21, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted July 21, 2019 @Sindo @vinipereira I know the color is annoying, but aren’t really any other colors that go with the theme. Is there anyway we could make the pages a bit darker white, or get a darker yellow text color like the one on the flag? “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I don't find any sense with blue, I couldn't read it much either. Just bcoz India mdia has orange, white and green doesn't mean we'll use those colors. Black is preferable Or maybe red or dark blue. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
