Message from the Executive
Executive Members
Message from the Executive This quadrennial proved to be quite interesting, not to mention very busy. On reflection we have been able to meet our goals as laid out in our strategic plan following consultation and engagement with all associations during the review process of your respective quadrennial plans. Our objectives for the past four years were:
‘Person on the Podium’ - getting elite athletes on to the Podium
Increase the number of sports participating in Games
Promotion of Olympic Values including Respect, Excellence, Friendship
Promote drug free sport through the WADA programme
While we recognise we still have a long ways to go, we have made significant strides by focusing on what is important to achieve the aforementioned objectives. As the 2013 – 2016 quadrennial commenced, the biggest challenge from the outset was the introduction of the Non Profit Organisations (NPO) legislation that forced all of us to have a second look at our respective constitution to ensure compliance. We thank Thornton Smith for assisting us to get over that hurdle. Our strategic focus this quadrennial provided the extra push that non team sport athletes have been looking for in prior years, with significant financial support by way of individual scholarships going to athletes from athletics, swimming, squash, skiing and sailing. This was In keeping with our goal of providing the best possible support to our top individual athletes. The Olympic scholarship programme offered NOCs the possibility to obtain financial and technical assistance for those elite athletes who were training, and attempting to qualify, for the Sochi and Rio Olympic Games. Rugby benefitted from a “Team Support Grant” and this is reflected in the growth of their grassroots’ programme. The “Person on the Podium” campaign was also reflected in many of your goals, and as such BVIOC commend and congratulate all associations whose athletes achieved such at your regional and international competitions for example the World Youth Championship, World Junior Championship, Carifta Games, OECS Championship, CAC, CBC etc. We commend once again Chantel Malone, CAC Long Jump Champion, who also got a 4th and 5th place finish at the Commonwealth Games and Pan Am Games respectively. Chantel was the only senior athlete to reach the podium internationally. Congratulations also to our aspiring seniors, the team of Taylor Hill, Nelda Huggins, Jonel Lacey and Tarika “Tinker Bell” Moses who won the silver medal at the 8th IAAF World Youth Championships, and Kyron McMaster, the 2016 World Junior 400 M Hurdles Bronze Medallist Mention must be made of the top 5 associations that were able to benefit from the broad array of programmes and financial assistance to athletes. The gains made by these association in their “Person on the Podium” programme was in many ways reflected by level of funding and support provided by BVIOC, and the level of competition their
respective athletes were qualified to participate in. These associations were Athletics, Swimming, Sailing, Squash and Tennis. The Grant Summary by Association refers. It is also important to note that while many of our athletes did not make it to the podium, many in fact moved beyond the preliminary round in their various competitions, whether it was the quarter finals, semi-finals or indeed the finals. These efforts deserve praise. The British Virgin Islands Olympic Committee in 2014 celebrated 30 years (1984 to 2014) of participation in the Olympic Games. The celebration by way of a reception held at Old Government House Museum recognised BVIOC founding members and first Olympians. The BVIOC also presented the 2013 IOC Trophy “150 Years, Pierre de Coubertin, Sport as a School of Life” during a dinner event to Past President Rey O’Neal. These 2 events were in keeping with our objectives of promoting, maintaining and recording our BVI legacy; which would be expanded on in the 2017 to 2020 quadrennial with the creation of an Olympic Academy programme. Of particular importance this quadrennial was the introduction and expansion of our community based programmes: Run/ Walk for Health: BVIOC through the Ministry of Health supporting healthy lifestyles in our community. BVIOC assisted with the purchase of pedometers that were distributed throughout the community by the Ministry of Health. Swim for Life: BVIOC supporting and promoting water safety in our community working in partnership with Kids and The Sea programme (KATS). Olympic Day: Olympic Day, an annual celebration is a celebrated around the world to observe the Olympic values of excellence, friendship and respect. It is also a celebration of the Olympic Day pillars: move, learn and discover. Queen’s Baton Relay: The Queen's Baton Relay, similar to the Olympic Torch Relay, is a relay around the world held prior to the beginning of the Commonwealth Games. The Baton carries a message from the Head of the Commonwealth, currently Queen Elizabeth II.
LATD: The Long Term Athlete Development and the promotion of physical literacy programme is currently being undertaken in conjunction with CANOC, Canada Sport for Life Foundation, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education and other community based stakeholders.
BVI RADO: Locally based organisation headed by BVIOC President Ephraim Penn, and a group of hard working volunteers being committed to promoting the culture of “Clean Sport”, and arranging for the testing of athletes in BVI. Rey O’Neal Scholarship: BVIOC/ Ministry of Education educational scholarship programme for promising BVI athletes.
As in previous years, PASO continued with its Olympic Solidarity Programmes, with particular emphasis on the training of coaches. BVI participated in or conducted
programmes in the following sports; Basketball, Athletics, Swimming and Taekwondo. The coaching assistance grant to BVIFA was funded by Olympic Solidarity. Additionally, with assistance from CGA Canada and as part of a CANOC regional initiative, the BVI in 2014 hosted a Caribbean Coaching Certification Programme for approximately 30 local attendees, and most recently in 2016 with financial support from Lima 2019, and organised by CANOC hosted a regional workshop for “Trainer of Trainers” with attendees primarily from post- secondary level institutions from across the region. A new feature this quadrennial was the Pan American Olympic Festival held in the summer of 2014. The festival supported the late President of PASO’s vision to ensure that the group’s athletes were the best prepared to participate in the Olympics. These Programmes included the training of coaches, scholarships for athletes and direct support to the NOCs. Unfortunately, only Squash made the trip to the festival. In 2013 The Capacity Support Officer programme was introduced in 4 NOCs in the region (Antigua and Barbuda, BVI, St. Vincent and Anguilla. This programme an initiative of Commonwealth Games Canada was designed to provide administrative support to NOCs while providing on the job training for Canadian graduates. 2 CSO’s spent a total of 10 months working in BVI. 2015 saw leadership changes in our overseas organisations. Following the passing of then PASO President Mario Rana, Uruguayan Olympic Committee President Julio Maglione was elected as interim President. Maglione is the current FINA President and an IOC member. In the CGF, Louise Martin was elected the group’s first female president. As this quadrennial in particular comes to a close, it is worth reflecting back to prior years to add some perspective to the gains we have made in particular over the past four years: During the 2001 to 2004 era, approximately $142K in funding was received, with approximately 33% going to or utilised for the benefit of athletes. During the 2005 to 2008 era, approximately $290K in funding was received with approximately 49% going to or utilised for the benefit of athletes. During the 2009 to 2012 era, approximately $595K in funding was received with approximately 58% going to or utilised for the benefit of athletes. During the 2013 to 2016 era, approximately $1,900K in funding was received from Olympic Solidarity, PASO and the CGF with approximately 78% going to or utilised for the benefit of athletes. The aforementioned demonstrates that the current executive have been working extremely hard for and on behalf of athletes, and that their focus was athlete centred. It is safe to say that every credible method was utilised to present BVIOC’s case to the relevant organisations, with our efforts being rewarded to facilitate the programmes presented over the past 4 years.
As far as the future goes, we can only promise to be just as hard-working in our efforts. The programmes we hope to undertake would be reflective of our ongoing dialog and your timely submissions of your proposed programmes for the next four years. The BVIOC 2012 to 2016 executive members take this opportunity to thank all member associations, all local, regional and international stakeholders for their support over the past 4 years, and stand ready to serve for the next 4 years.

Sport/Association Feedback Let me first thank the Olympic Committee for nominating me for this wonderful learning opportunity.
The hospitality showed to the delegates attending the conference created a comfortable setting for
information sharing and learning. The atmosphere was one of camaraderie amongst the delegates and I
have taken away positive and wonderful memories to last a lifetime. The network built by the delegates
will lead to continued information sharing and has created opportunities for the delegates to continue
to communicate with each other even as we return to our own home countries
The conference was a great learning experience to see how other countries sports and school programs
are structured to promote the Olympic values of excellence, friendship, respect, spirit and unity which
in turn help to bond their countries and their communities and provide an avenue for them to showcase
the talent of prospective national athletes in various sports disciplines. As a means to develop the talent
of athletes, promising athletes with potential as prospective players are invited to various camps and
tournaments to improve their skills………….

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BVI Collects First Gold at 2014 Carifta Swimming Championships
Elinah Phillip powered her way to a first place finish in the Girls 13-14 50m fly in a time of 28.71 to
collect the BVI’s first gold at the XXIV CARIFTA Swimming Championships in Aruba last evening. This
is the territory’s first CARIFTA swimming gold and its second appearance at the Caribbean's premier
age group swimming event following an inaugural appearance in 2012.
Keeley Maduro of Aruba and Amira Pilgrim of Trinidad were second and third in the 50m fly event. All
three shattered the old record of 29.49.
Elinah previously picked up a bronze for her time of 1:08.82 in the Girls 13 – 14 100m fly on the first
night of the Championships.
“The team is off to a fantastic start,” said Elsworth Philip, President of the BVI Swimming Federation.
“The Federation hasn't looked back since its first team event in 2011 and we continue to go from
strength to strength, with a cadre of age group swimmers based at home and abroad who are
propelling BVI swimming forward despite the local challenges and setbacks.”
The Championships are an annual age group meet for the Caribbean, similar in form and origin to its
athletics counterpart. This year’s event has been sanctioned by the International Swimming
Federation (FINA) as a Youth Olympic Games qualifier and has attracted the best in the region for a
very high level of competition. The Championships also serve as a Central American and Caribbean
(CAC) Games qualifying event.
Elinah and her sister, Amarah, were the BVI’s sole qualifiers at this year’s CARIFTA Championships
which features 23 countries and territories from around the Caribbean region. The five day
competition will see the BVI athletes work through the rounds in the sprint events with their eyes
fixed on gaining places on the winner’s podium as they swim their way into the CARIFTA and BVI
record books with medals in tow.
“We’d like to thank the Swimming Federation’s partners, including the BVI Olympic Committee, for
providing the grant funding that made the trip possible, and also KPMG for their continued
assistance,” said the girls’ mother and Federation Secretary General, Tracey Bradshaw.
The Championships run from 22nd to 26th April.

BVI Relay Team wins Silver Medal at IAAF World Youth’s
The British Virgin Islands joined Jamaica and Barbados as the only English speaking Caribbean
countries to earn a medal in the 8th IAAF World Youth Championships that wrapped up today in
Donetsk, Ukraine, when the Medley Relay quartet earned silver behind the United States in a NACAC
1-2 finish.
The team of Taylor Hill, Nelda
Huggins, Jonel Lacey and Tarika
“Tinker Bell” Moses, had a time of 2
minutes 07.40 seconds to finish
ahead of hard charging Japan. Lacey
who was sick on Saturday and did not
run the 200m semifinals, replaced
800m runner Lakeisha “Mimi”
Warner who carried them into the
final with a gritty 400m anchor leg
after passing the Czech Republic
runner, as they finished second to
Canada in the semis with a time of
2:08.80. With Lacey’s insertion in the
final, she ran the 300m while Moses
moved up to the 400m, with Hill
leading off the 100m and Huggins followed in the 200m.

A string of tough losses and lots of lessons to take away as the VI national squad concluded the North
America Caribbean Rugby Association’s (NACRA) 7s tournament held December 3 -4 in Mexico City,
Mexico.
On the second and final day of the
tournament, Pool B teams, BVI and
Barbados clashed in the quarterfinals,
but despite some good opportunities,
the BVI squad lost the encounter, 38-0.
Despite the final score, the BVI showed a
bit of improvement on the score of their
very first game of the tournament which
they lost to Barbados, 69-0.
The loss against Barbados pushed the BVI into the plate section of the tournament where they faced
Jamaica and while they managed to put points on the score sheet, Jamaica won, 43-14.
In their third game of the final day, the BVI faced a determined Bermuda squad. The final score was
33-0.

Future Plans (2017 to 2020) As we look back with pride at our achievements over the last quadrennial (2013 to 2016), we must all feel a great sense of accomplishment to know that together we have built a once dormant NOC - that had prompted Olympic Solidarity to commission an audit to confirm our existence - to one that is now viewed with envy regionally and internationally. I must congratulate our entire Executive Board for a job well done and a special thanks to SG Lloyd Black for putting this report together. As we eagerly await word from Olympic Solidarity of what we can expect over the next four years, I challenge all of us to continue to work for the benefit of all our athletes and citizens and truly make our NOC one of inclusion not exclusion. Strategic Priorities Going Forward:
