The Bahamas, like Spain, remain undefeated on their way to a berth in the Olympic Games. The Bahamians defeated Finland and Poland in the preliminary phase, and Lebanon in the semifinals, to qualify for the final game of this four-game bracket that is also being played simultaneously in Latvia, Greece and Puerto Rico.
