At Caribbean Intelligence, we've been enjoying the designer flair of the Caribbean Olympic teams.
Although pared down, the Olympics opening ceremony on 23 July allowed nations from around the world to showcase their designer talent ahead of their athletic prowess over the next two weeks.
Let us know your thoughts on the athletes' outfits. We might share a few online!
We thought we'd start with Olympian medal powerhouse, Jamaica (pictured above).
Next up - the Bahamas!
And here's the team from Trinidad and Tobago.
This is team Barbados.
And Cuba also showed off its flag colours in style.
Not to be confused with Puerto Rico.
Or the Dominican Republic.
And Haiti got two appearances in a way....its team and Japan's Naomi Osaka whose Haitian father inspired her to visit Haiti several times.
Enjoy your Olympics and share your thoughts with us at caribbeanintelligence@gmail.com.
