With hopes of a spot on the podium, Guyana’s squash players and boxers will be heading into action at the 2022 Commonwealth Games tomorrow.
While the country has never won a squash medal at the Commonwealth Games, the last time Guyana won a boxing medal at the former British Empire Games, was at the 1990 event in Auckland, Australia, when Wesley Christmas claimed bronze in the bantamweight division.
In fact, of the 16 medals won by Guyana since the 1930 Commonwealth Games, 11 are split between Track and Field and Boxing.
