– GASA doubles down on Tyrell non-selection
Guyana will not be fielding a male swimmer at the upcoming World Aquatics Championships, which is slated for December 10-15 in Budapest, Hungary.
This was disclosed by Guyana Amateur Swimming Association (GASA) President Dwayne Scott when contacted by this publication.
While Aleka Persaud will be representing the country on the distaff side, there will be no male representative following Vladimir Woodroffe’s decision to withdraw from the team, a direct fallout from GASA’s decision to not select overseas-based athlete Delroy Tyrell, who is the second highest-ranked swimmer.
