With the victory, Hodge became the first woman representing the British Virgin Islands to capture a Commonwealth Games athletics title, placing her name permanently among the territory’s greatest sporting figures. Commonwealth Sport had identified the milestone before the final, noting that Hodge was seeking the BVI’s first women’s Commonwealth athletics crown. For the British Virgin Islands, one of the smallest territories competing at the Games, Hodge’s performance is another reminder that Caribbean sporting excellence is not measured by population size. She also represented the British Virgin Islands at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where she served as a flag bearer and advanced to the women’s 200-metre semifinals. Hodge stood at the centre of the Commonwealth stage carrying the colours of the British Virgin Islands, having transformed years of promise into a senior championship gold medal.
