Come tomorrow and Sunday, Guyana’s lone differently-abled cyclist, Walter Grant-Stuart, will have all his dreams riding on his performance in the Parapan Am Cycling Championships in Lima, Peru.
Grant-Stuart told this newspaper that he recently received a letter from the International Cycling Union (UCI) which related that he was in contention for a spot to train for the Olympics next year but it was dependent on his performance at this championships as well as the World Cycling Championships.
“I’m not here just to participate, any race I go in is the intention to win, for me, I recently got a letter from UCI which said based on the performance in Peru and the World Championship, they will select me to train for the Olympics,” he said.
