May 5th, 2008 — Barbados, Boycotts
To boycott or not to boycott the Beijing Olympics? That is the question. Include Steve Stoute, president of the Barbados Olympic Association (BOA), in the “Not to B” or the “not to boycott” column. Here’s his take on the matter according to Barbados’ Nation News:
The best way to deal with this is to attend the Olympic Games. If I were a head of state my approach would be to attend the Games and use it as a mechanism to try and make change.

Barbados Prime Minister David Thompson on his nation’s Olympic prospects:
This is a small but proud nation. I hope this year that the Barbadian participants at the Olympics will do our nation proud. We must be realistic about expectations but there is nothing to stop a small nation from finding an area where we can place ourselves on the world stage.
