Team Guyana’s medal hopes took a dive in three disciplines when the Pan American 2023 Games continued in Santiago, Chile yesterday.
Badminton star Priyanna Ramdhani suffered an injury which forced her to retire hurt from her Women’s Round of 32 match against Brazil’s Juliana Vieira. Worryingly, it was her knee which gave out, an injury she was carrying previously.
Over in the pool, one of Guyana’s top male swimmers in recent times, Raekwon Noel swam in Heat One of the Men’s 400m Freestyle and turned in a credible four minutes, 07.38 seconds to come second behind Costa Rica’s Alberto Vega Sancho. However, Noel was unfortunate to miss out on the last overall qualifying spot losing out to Sancho as fate would have it.
