President of the Barbados Olympic Association Inc.
Sandra Osborne, QC, and board member Dr. Adrian Lorde were recently appointed to commissions of the Mexico-based Pan-Am Sport Organization.
Panam Sports Commissions bring together members of the National Olympic Commissions (
NOCs) and professional subject matter experts to develop best practices, advise the Executive Committee and provide valuable insight on all areas of the organization.
It is Osborne’s first time on a Panam Sports Commission. She is serving on the Legal Commission which has responsibility for modernization and compliance with the Panam Games statutes. Additionally, it approves the content and fulfillment of all contracts signed by Panam Sports. She said that she was honored to be appointed to the Commission which gives Barbados increased recognition in continental sports and some influence in the future direction sport takes within the Americas.

No Barbadian athlete has qualified as yet for the rescheduled Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Nevertheless, president of the Barbados Olympic Association (BOA) Sandra Osborne said officials are optimistic that at least 20 competitors will represent the island at the July 23 to August 8 showpiece.
With the Olympics two months away, Osborne urged track and field fans not to panic as there is still time for athletes to meet the World Athletics standards.
“We would have estimated a number, I think we would have started off with about 30 athletes and officials. It probably is going to be a little bit smaller now.
