ABSTRACT
Since the middle of the 20th century the Caribbean has consistently produced worldclass players in several major sports, including cricket, track athletics (particularly those events requiring speed and power – the 100, 200 and 400 metres), baseball and soccer (football). It has also produced world-beaters, albeit with less consistency, in an eclectic range of other sports, such as boxing, netball, body-building and horse-racing.2
