According to this article http://www.nationnews.com/story/306590674506908.php from a Barbados news site, Barbados Men’s Team played their first international match against Mexico recently. Playing with several converted volleyball players, the Bajans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bajan lost by a large margin, 36-9. Perhaps they can take comfort in that another island nation, Iceland, with a similar population base (~300K) won the silver medal in Beijing.
