STEREOTYPE TWO: THE ONLY SPORTS THAT CARIBBEAN ARE KNOWN FOR
BASEBALL AND SOCCER
Perhaps its common for people to believe than only Caribbean people practice soccer or baseball, because the most prominent players in their respective fields came from the Caribbean, so is easy to asume that those are the only sports that Caribbean people focuses on.
But for Barbados it's a different story, first is the home of the Kensington Oval one of the most famous criquet field in the world, due to their British inheritance, Criquet is the favorite sport in Barbados along with Road Tennis a sport who was played for the first time in 1910 on the street and is currently being played in marked and paved courts throughout the country
KENSINGTON OVAL
Also they had a champion of F3 Zane Maloney with only 18 years, he has several records and world titles.
COLOMBIAN CASE
In Colombia we share a bit of that stereotype, we are known by our famous soccer players such as Falco Garcia, James Rodriguez among others, and people easily believe that Soccer in the only sport that represent us. However we had some sport's women who had excel in their respective fields for example Mariana Pajón BMX Champion or Sofia Gomez Apnea Champion.
