The Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPLF) is set to kick off its 2022 calendar of activities Sunday with the staging of its Novices/Juniors and Sub Juniors Championships.
According to the federation’s Facebook page, the event, which will be held at the St. Stanislaus auditorium, is scheduled for a 09:00hrs start.
Athletes are asked to present themselves for weigh-in and equipment check between 06:30 hrs and 08:00hrs.
As is customary, the annual fixture will attract the cream of the nation’s juniors, teens and first time lifters looking to display their strength prowess.
Trophies, medals and bragging rights will all be on the line as the eager athletes exhibit their strength in order to break records and earn titles.
Drug testing of athletes across all disciplines are now taking centre-stage and the GAPLF will not be left behind in the Government’s quest to aid the governing body World Anti-doping Agency (WADA) in achieving its objective of a level playing field for all athletes.
