Mr Davis added, “I was up early this morning, 5th August, in anticipation of watching Steven Gardiner claim Olympic glory in the men’s 400 meter finals in Tokyo.

“It is with great joy and almost speechless excitement that I congratulate Steven Gardiner on behalf of the PLP on winning the 400 meter race in his smooth style and striking gold.

“Our Abaco boy from Moore’s Island has once again made our entire nation proud.
