17 Caribbean athletes. Records the world still can’t touch.

Ten are official world records, from Usain Bolt’s 9.58 to Omara Durand’s clean sweep of the T12 sprints.

The rest are Guinness, Olympic, championship, world best and cricket marks. Asafa Powell’s 97 sub-10s. Brian Lara’s 400 not out.

Saint Lucia has purchased a site near the Julien Alfred Highway, and several design concepts are now being assessed. Minister Kenson Casimir confirmed the project is in advanced planning and design, with four ministries working on it.

What hasn’t been announced yet is the design itself, who’s sculpting it, what it costs or when it goes up.

Alfred won Saint Lucia’s first Olympic gold in the women’s 100m at Paris 2024, in 10.72 seconds.

This could only happen in our wildest dreams. But it would’ve been one of the greatest moments to witness.

Bunny Shaw’s amazing 2026 resume, in one carousel.

She won the WSL title and the FA Cup with Manchester City. She won a third straight Golden Boot, scored the fastest hat-trick in WSL history, and took both the PFA and FWA awards. She is now on the Ballon d’Or shortlist ahead of the ceremony in London on 26 October.

Jamaica’s all-time top scorer, from Spanish Town and St Jago High.

Identical twins, born a minute apart. Their father, Troy Thompson, is Jamaican and had both boys in the gym by seven.

Amen signed five years and $208 million with Houston. Ausar followed with $155 million in Detroit, fully guaranteed.

ESPN has them as the first brothers in NBA history to each land a $100 million deal.

Their uncle, Mark Thompson, ran the 400m hurdles for Jamaica at Barcelona in 1992.

Usain Bolt and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce were born four months apart in 1986, one in Trelawny, one in Kingston.

What followed reads like a script. Beijing, Berlin, London, Moscow and Beijing again, and the two kept winning the same titles a day apart, twice on the exact same dates a year later. They trained at rival clubs under different coaches. The pattern held for eight years before Rio 2016 broke it.

Tell us which one you didn’t know.

Concacaf’s 41 member associations rejected FIFA’s plan to sell investors a stake in its World Cup business. Thirty-one of those associations are Caribbean, more than North America and Central America put together.

FIFA had offered to lift development funding from 8 million dollars a cycle to 20 million. Concacaf’s members asked why it could not come from FIFA’s own reserves.

UEFA’s 55 associations rejected it the same day.

Two draws. Three defeats. And the newest one stings the most.

Norway knocked Brazil out of the 2026 World Cup today, a 1-0 win in the Round of 16 at MetLife Stadium, with Erling Haaland rising above Gabriel to head in the only goal of the night.

Back in 1998, Norway beat them 2-1 in the group stage. Same story, higher stakes. Norway march on to the first World Cup quarter-final in their history. Brazil pack their bags.

Five games against the Vikings. Still no win. The streak lives on.

Here is what makes it a significant win. Sabalenka had won all three meetings between them this year, the last one at this same round of the French Open a few weeks back. Osaka had never beaten a top ten player anywhere other than a hard court, stuck on 0 and 13 in those matches. On the warmest day of the tournament her flat, heavy hitting flew through the air and the number one had no answer.

There is a Caribbean thread here too. Osaka’s father is Haitian, and when she wins the diaspora feels it. Four Grand Slam titles to her name, and now a deep run on the one surface people always doubted her on.

One more for the record books. Sabalenka had not lost in straight sets at a major since 2020. Osaka just ended that.

This was the islands’ first-ever World Cup. A nation of around 500,000 people held the European champions Spain to a goalless draw, fought into the knockout rounds, and then pushed reigning champions Argentina all the way to extra time before going out 3-2. One supporter at the airport summed it up best: after the heroes who fought for our independence, now we have these heroes.

Here’s the part that hits home for us: more Cape Verdeans live overseas than on the islands themselves. Sound familiar? A small place, its people spread across the world, each one claiming the same flag when the team walks out. The giants keep being reminded that size was never the whole story.
