Guyana’s top youth and junior athletes departed for the FLOW CARIFTA Games yesterday as the country looks set to once again compete for podium places during the annual regional championships over three days.
The 2017 games, which marks the 46th edition, takes place in Curacao from Easter Saturday at the five-year-old national athletic stadium and about 600 athletes are scheduled to compete.
Guyana, which has fared well at the games over the years, won five medals last year. That medal count comprised three silver and two bronze. Once again the mighty Jamaicans are expected to dominate and win their 33rd straight title.
