Hi, John!
Thanks.
As far as I can tell I think they mainly followed what legendary Olympic
founder Baron de Coubertine said: (something like:) "The most important
thing is not to win, but to do your best in fair competition".
I don't think there was any St Helena runner this year. They were a rather
small team, mainly doing golf, swimming and shooting, but not making it to
any prominent positions in the charts, as far as I can tell.
Spending all my time at the atheltics arena, I think I spotted a few St
Helena team members only once during the week.

Hi Lasse - good to see you back.
How did St. Helena do in the games (I'm very interested as I used to live
there): last time they competed I think one of their runners did quite
well..

Recently I had the pleasure of covering a full week of
athletics at what's
called The (Natwest) Island Games. I guess it's the only
competition/games
<SNIP>
It has to be an island of not more than 100,000 inhabitants.
I think that you, and many others, may find it interesting to check these
islands out here:
