Alana Walker created history by becoming the first Jamaican to win a medal at a major gymnastics competition.
The US-based gymnast etched her name in the history books when she picked up the bronze at the Junior Pan American Championships in Mexico, on the weekend.
Despite winning the US Nationals at level 10 and being added to the USA development squad in May, the 14-year-old, whose parents are Jamaicans, decide to represent the country of her parents’ birth.
Her mother is from Kingston and her father from St. Mary.
Walker says it was an honour to contribute to the building of Brand Jamaica.
