The Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPLF) is currently awaiting the green light from the COVID-19 Task Force to stage its last statutory competition for 2021, the Senior Nationals Championships.
This is according to secretary of the federation, Roger Rogers.
Giving an update of the event, Rogers also confirmed that St Stanislaus College would be the venue to host the most anticipated fixture for the GAPLF’s calendar of activities.
The total number of athletes scheduled to compete is still uncertain, and will be announced shortly.
What is certain is that the fixture is expected to attract the cream of the nation’s gladiators who will be vying for the coveted Best Male and Female Lifter titles. Further, the lifters will be looking to secure qualifying totals in an effort to be shortlisted for possible selection on the national team for upcoming international duties in 2022.
Top lifters like Vijai Rahim, Hardat Tarson, Romario Gonsalves, Esther Maycock, Keisha Abrigo, Xusha Boyce, Farouk Abdool and Fazim Abdool are expected to chalk up and put on a strength show on the platform.
Athletes who are interested in competing for Senior Nationals 2021 are required to download their application from the GAPLF’s official Facebook page, for submission along with the required competition fees.
All registration forms and monies should have been submitted to GAPLF Committee Member, Martin Webster.
Alternatively, payment for this competition should have been made directly to the Federation’s Bank Account – #6552194 – with a confirming screenshot of the completed registration form along with the confirming banking deposit slip, being electronically submitted to Webster.
