Nations At The 1996 Summer Olympics
A nation is a community of people formed on the basis of a combination of shared features such as language, history, ethnicity, culture and/or society. A nation is thus the collective identity of a group of people understood as defined by those features. Some nations are equated with ethnic groups (see ethnic nationalism) and some are equated with affiliation to a social and political constitution (see civic nationalism and multiculturalism). A nation is generally more overtly political than an ethnic group. A nation has also been defined as a cultural-political community that has become conscious of its autonomy, unity and particular interests. The consensus among scholars is that nations are socially constructed and historically contingent. Throughout history, people have had an attachment to their kin group and traditions, territorial authorities and their homeland, but nationalism – the belief that state and nation should align as a nation state – did not become a promine ...

Maskell represented Barbados in five editions of the Olympic Games -- 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2016 -- having narrowly missed reaching the final podium twice in men's skeet shooting at both the 1999 and 2011 Pan American Games. Twelve years after competing in his first Olympics, Maskell qualified for his fourth Barbadian team, as a 37-year-old, in men's skeet shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics held in Athens by receiving a wild card place from ISSF through a re-allocation of unused quota.
