Paris 2024 will be Guyana’s 18th participation at the Olympic Games, where the quest to break the long drought of non-success at the world’s premier sports event will continue.
Again, it will be another uphill task for an expected contingent of track athletes, possibly boxers, table tennis players and swimmers.
And none of the potential Olympians this year would’ve been born when boxer Michael Parris took the podium for his bronze medal effort back in 1980. From then to now it has been an everlasting wait for more success as underwhelming appreciation by all stakeholders for disciplines outside of cricket, has dimmed all hopes.
