I would like to first applaud the Panam Sports Committee for making the decision to host this first edition to honor the athletes of the 41 countries who are members of the Americas . I’m extremely grateful my performance was considered along with all the athletes being recognized as one of the most inspiring moments at the Panam Games held earlier this year in Lima, Peru. . 2019, I decided I was “Made For Moreâ€. Motherhood was never going to diminish what Shelly-Ann the athlete wanted to accomplish.
