- A new chapter is beginning for sport in Barbados with the launch of a locally developed sports data analytics initiative designed to change the way information is collected, analysed and used across the sporting sector.
The initiative is a partnership between the Ministry of Sport and Community Empowerment and Future Barbados.

It was officially launched recently, with the first cohort of participants now undergoing training aimed at developing home-grown expertise in sports data analytics, while equipping national sporting organisations with the tools to make more informed, data-driven decisions.
A small-scale pilot of the programme was first t...

Her explanation is that while the National Botanical Gardens gave approval for the circus to operate at that site, the Barbados Water Authority said no.
She says four days before the first show, the BWA sent correspondence to the circus' management, making it clear that they would not get water at that site because it is a Zone A area.
The Prime Minister says she does not understand why the circus would proceed with its operations at that location, even though they were told not to do so.
She spoke to members of the media about the controversy as she toured the Allendale Pumping Station in St Lucy.

- Description
- As the Barbados Cycling Union continues its push for the further development of cycling on the island, plans have already been drawn up for a new velodrome and a site identified for the facility.
The proposed velodrome is expected to provide a purpose-built home for track cycling while creating greater opportunities for athletes to train, compete and develop their skills locally.
However, the project will require strong private-sector support to move from the drawing board to reality.
The call is coming from Minister of Sport and Community Empowerment Charles Griffith, who says the Government has done the groundwork and is now looking to corporate Barbados to help move the project forward.
The minister says the appeal is not just about constructing a new sporting facility, but also about investing in the future of cycling and creating an environment in which young riders can develop from grassroots participants into elite athletes.
