At the same time, the medical staff is also preparing themselves to provide quality medical care for our athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cameron continued, \u201cAs Chef de Mission, I am very pleased with the organization so far exhibited by the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation (GOLDOC). As is expected, there will be challenges, but these have been in the minority and once highlighted, have been addressed with alacrity and professionalism. This augurs well for the Games, which is already developing into what can be rated as the best Commonwealth Games. Clearly, the Organizing Committee listened and addressed all contentious areas raised at the Chef de Mission meeting in October 2017 and have also addressed the weaknesses of Melbourne 2006, India 2010 and Glasgow 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cameron\u2019s role as Chef de Mission is the general management of Team Barbados, and his duties include, but are not limited to, rooming, disciplinary matters, travel arrangements and uniforms.<\/p>\n<p>There are 45 athletes and 21 team officials representing the island from 11 sporting disciplines.  The Games take place from April 4 \u2013 15, Gold Coast, Australia.<\/p>\n<p>The full list of athletes participating in the 2018 Commonwealth Games;<\/p>\n<h3>Athletics<\/h3>\n<p>Stephen HEADLEY<br \/>\nBurkheart ELLIS JR<br \/>\nNicholas DESHONG<br \/>\nShane BRATHWAITE<br \/>\nRamon GITTENS<br \/>\nSada WILLIAMS<br \/>\nKierre BECKLES<br \/>\nTia-Adana BELLE<\/p>\n<h3>Badminton<\/h3>\n<p>Cory FANUS<br \/>\nDakeil THORPE<\/p>\n<h3>Boxing<\/h3>\n<p>Jabali BREEDY<br \/>\nKimberly GITTENS<\/p>\n<h3>Cycling Track<\/h3>\n<p>Amber JOSEPH<\/p>\n<h3>Netball<\/h3>\n<p>Damisha CRONEY<br \/>\nLatonia BLACKMAN<br \/>\nNikita PAYNE<br \/>\nRhe-Ann NILES-MAPP<br \/>\nRieah HOLDER<br \/>\nSabreena SMITH<br \/>\nShonette AZORE-BRUCE<br \/>\nShonica WHARTON<br \/>\nShonte SEALE<br \/>\nTeresa HOWELL<br \/>\nTonisha ROCK-YAW<br \/>\nVanessa BOBB<\/p>\n<h3>Shooting<\/h3>\n<p>Richard ARTHUR<br \/>\nBernard CHASE<br \/>\nMichelle ELLIOT<br \/>\nLouis ESTWICK<br \/>\nMichael MASKELL<br \/>\nRonald SARGEANT<br \/>\nJustin ST.JOHN<br \/>\nJason WOOD<\/p>\n<h3>Squash<\/h3>\n<p>Shawn SIMPSON<br \/>\nMeagan BEST<br \/>\nAmanda HAYWOOD<\/p>\n<h3>Swimming<\/h3>\n<p>Alex SOBERS<\/p>\n<h3>Table Tennis<\/h3>\n<p>Kristian DOUGHTY<br \/>\nMark DOWELL<br \/>\nTyrese KNIGHT<br \/>\nMarcus SMITH<\/p>\n<h3>Triathlon<\/h3>\n<p>Jason WILSON<br \/>\nMatthew WRIGHT<\/p>\n<h3>Weightlifting<\/h3>\n<p>Romario FORDE<br \/>\nIvorn MCKNEE <\/p>\n<p>Cyril Cameron Burke\t<\/p>\n<h3>Chef de Mission<\/h3>\n<p>Gail Craig-Archer\t<\/p>\n<h3>Assistant Chef de Mission\t<\/h3>\n<h3> MEDICAL <\/h3>\n<p>CARL WARD<br \/>\nSHARON COPPIN<br \/>\nSHANE DRAKES\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All 68 members of the Barbados contingent participating in the Commonwealth Games have now taken up residence in the Games Village.
