Barbadians are sports enthusiasts, no doubt about it. At any time of the year, you will find a major tournament or a lifestyle event of some kind or the other taking place.
There is polo, football (that is, the soccer version), rugby, golf, athletics, swimming, volleyball, basketball, horse racing, as well as a number of fitness activities such as the Sagicor Run for Life, the Nation Fun Walk and Fun Ride, and the Barbados Marathon series, among others.
But above all, there is cricket, glorious, cricket the national sport of Barbados.
Horseracing
Big on the cards is horse racing, a sport that catches the eyes of the locals.
Bajans are unapologetically mad for cricket. Work stops when there is an international match and even when it doesn't actually stop you may find your service person a little distracted especially if Brian Lara is in the middle of a particularly scintillating innings.
