The only athlete from the island country of Granada (The Spice Island) in the Lesser Antilles, 19-yrs-old Kirani James wins the gold medal at Olympics in the men's 400 meters sprint. He is the only gold medal winner ever from Granada and is on an athletic scholarship at the Univ. Alabama: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirani_James Granada has an estimated population of only 110,000 and occupies only 133 sq mi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenada).
You remember Granada. President Ronald Reagan was feared to start WW-III before he was elected, even by some in his own party. But he fooled everyone and eventually even evolved to become an advocate for the reduction in nuclear weapons. One thing you can say about him, when he chose to go to war, he at least picked someone we can beat. He had the U.S. invade Granada in 1983 to presumably to save some medical students: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Grenada_(1983)
