BOWIE, Md. - eTradeWire -- Rebuild Dominica Inc. (rebuilddominica.org) proudly celebrates Thea LaFond's historic achievement at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. LaFond's gold medal in the women's triple jump marks the first-ever Olympic medal for the island nation of Dominica, a monumental milestone that brings immense pride and joy to Dominicans worldwide.

LaFond's victory is not only a testament to her exceptional talent and dedication but also a beacon of hope and inspiration for the people of Dominica. Her success underscores the potential of athletes from small nations to excel on the world stage, despite limited resources and challenges.

In a statement to the Associated Press following her victory, Thea LaFond expressed her pride and the significance of this achievement for her homeland: "It's an understatement to say it's a really big deal. Sometimes you wonder if being from a small country means that you have less accessibility to resources. But we've been really big on prioritizing quality and just executing it".
