A question of identity
Since she began track and field
competitively in 2014,
Nyoshia Cain
has
run seven races, six of them classifying
as international competitions – her first,
the Mexico Championships in Mexico
City, was just a
“meet”
, she says (although
she won her first two gold medals there)
– and she has come away with eight gold
medals (the Mexico Championships in
2014, the Arizona Desert Challenge in
2016 and 2017, and the USA National
Championships in Los Angeles in
2017), one silver medal (the Arizona
Desert Challenge in 2017), and four
bronze medals (the World Para Athletics
Championships in 2015 and 2017, the
Paralympics in Rio in 2016, and the
USA National Championships in 2017).
Nyosha, a UWI student, was interviewed
by
Serah Acham
and you can read the
story on
Page 6.
