Pan American Games appearances (overview)

A team of 29 athletes (18 men and 11 women) competing in 10 sports was announced by the Barbados Olympic Association on July 2, 2015.[2][3] This marked a reduction of 23 athletes from the last edition of the games in 2011. This is primarily because both field hockey teams (which consisted of 32 athletes in 2011) failed to qualify. Tennis player Darian King was the flagbearer for the team during the opening ceremony.[4]
