the closest country to the bahamas is actually the uk, through the overseas territory of the turks and caicos islands. you should specify that you dont count overseas territories

(Yes i know overseas territory arent officially part of the uk but thats nitpicky)

I think basketball has passed cricket as the top sport, especially among participants. A whole lot of kids playing college ball and a few in the pros. Probably could say the same thing with athletics.
