Editor’s note: Mark Anderson is covering the UNLV men’s basketball team’s trip to the Bahamas. Every day this week he is sharing his experiences away from the arena.
Bahamians woke up Tuesday morning to find #bahamiantwitter and Shaunae as the world’s top two Twitter trending topics.
The nation became big news after Shaunae Miller dove across the finish line Monday night to beat American Allyson Felix to win the 400-meter final at the Olympic Games. That dive sparked controversy, but it was celebrated in the Bahamas after Miller gave the country its first medal at these Olympics.
