Boxing and Track and Field are expected to be Guyana’s best bet for medals at this year’s South American Youth Games in Chile.
The event, which kicks off on Friday in Santiago, with 14 competing countries, will see Guyana’s representatives going for gold in the sports of boxing, track and field, badminton and table tennis but the pugilists and the runners are the ones that are realistically expected to return with hardware from the prestigious fixture.
There will certainly be pressure on all of the young sportsmen and women to deliver the goods, however, Guyanese have become used to seeing athletes and boxers produce podium worthy performances on the international stage.
