No gymnast in Olympic history has ever competed for Jamaica, a country known for its dominating track and field. But Toni-Ann Williams would like to change that..at least make it on the medal podium.
Born in Baltimore USA to Jamaican parents, Williams knows how truly special this moment is, not only for her but the many Jamaicans who will be cheering her on. A strong performance at world championship scheduled for November 1 in Glasgow, is the first step for Toni-Ann and the other Jamaicans looking to qualify for the 2016 Olympics in Rio,Brasil.
