Often we hear black people and water sports are two worlds that do not come together. Individuals like Yona remind us that black people can do water sports. Yona began his journey through gymnastics, transferring his strengths to diving. originally representing Great Britain he felt it was time to represent Jamaica. Meeting the likes of Usain Bolt who congratulated him on his achievements and his success, thus showing us how far he has come.
