The National Bank of the Virgin Islands (NBVI) has announced an early closure on Friday, August 9, at 2 p.m. to allow team members to attend the official watch party for the highly anticipated 400m hurdles finals, where Kyron McMaster, OBE, will be competing as an Olympic finalist.

In a statement released earlier today, the bank expressed its commitment to supporting McMaster, who has captured the hearts of many in the British Virgin Islands with his remarkable Olympic journey. The NBVI team will resume regular hours on Monday, August 12, and they apologise for any inconvenience this early closure may cause.

The Social Security Board and National Health Insurance have also joined in this effort, announcing their offices will close at 2:30 p.m. on the same day. “We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused,” the Board stated, emphasising their pride in McMaster and all athletes representing the British Virgin Islands at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

The watch party, organised by the Ministry of Education, Youth Affairs and Sports in collaboration with the BVI Athletics Association, will commence at 3:00 p.m. at Rena’s Festival Village.

McMaster finished first in heat 2 of the 400m hurdles on August 2, with a time of 48.15 seconds. His victory not only secured his spot in the finals but also set the stage for a thrilling contest against elite competitors, including Norway’s Karsten Warholm and France’s Clément Ducos. Warholm dominated heat 1 with a remarkable time of 47.67 seconds, while Ducos followed closely at 47.85 seconds.

Kevin Durant has officially become the all-time leading Olympic scorer in USA Basketball history. Durant scored 11 points in Team USA’s 122–87 victory over Brazil in the 2024 Olympic Games semifinals on Tuesday, bringing his career total to 494 points. Durant surpasses Lisa Leslie’s previous record of 488 points, making him the top scorer in both men’s and women’s Olympic basketball.

Leslie, a four-time gold medalist, set her record while competing for Team USA in 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008. Durant, who has already won gold medals in the 2012, 2016, and 2020 Games, is now aiming to match Leslie’s total of four gold medals as he competes in Paris.

Devin Booker, Durant’s Phoenix Suns and Team USA teammate, gave Durant a new nickname after his latest accomplishment in international play. “That’s Captain America status,” Booker told NBC on Monday. “I feel like he has every record, every Olympic record. Now we have to get him his fourth gold.”

Durant was one of six Americans to score in double figures in Tuesday’s game, alongside Booker (18 points), Anthony Edwards (17), Joel Embiid (14), Anthony Davis (13), and LeBron James (12).

Durant, or “Captain America,” and Team USA will next face the Nikola Jokic-led Serbia squad in the Olympic semifinals on Thursday. The Americans previously defeated Serbia 110–84 in the group stage on July 28.
