Guyana is about to be represented by five athletes in three disciplines at the 2024 Summer Olympics, officially branded as Paris 2024, which begins tomorrow and runs up to August 11 in France.
While those athletes, Chelsea Edghill (Table Tennis), Raekwon Noel (Swimming), Aleka Persaud (Swimming), Emmanuel Archibald (Athletics) and Aaliyah Abrams (Athletics) were granted spots at the Olympics through either wildcard entries or universality spots, it would be remiss of stakeholders in Guyana’s sports community not to question what are the Guyana Olympic Association’s (GOA) plans, ambitions and vision for the future, where the Olympic Games are concerned.
Before we get to the crux of the aforementioned concerns, congratulations must be extended to those athletes who have been granted a place at Paris 2024.
