  1. I stumbled on this by chance but I am glad I did. I love Natoya Goule from her school girl days. She is so small but she possesses the heart of a giant. She is perhaps the most under rated 800 m female runner on the international circuit as the big name countries always seem to team her out at meets. Jamaica has got to show love to champions like her and I hope this is just the beginning.
