2 archers for IV South American Youth Games in Panama

Two local youth archers will take aim at the IV South American Youth Games Panama 2026, Archery Guyana disclosed on Wednesday.
The two promising archers will represent the Golden Arrowhead, with Brandon Cummings in the Individual Recurve category and Ravish Singh in the Individual Compound category. Both athletes have been engaged in an intensive training programme under the guidance of World Archery Level 2 Certified Coach Ryan McKinnon, who will accompany the athletes to Panama to provide technical support and mentorship throughout the Games.
The archery competition is scheduled for April 15-April 18, 2026, and will be held at the Estadio de Tiro con Arco at the Ciudad Deportiva Irving Saladino in Panama City.

The Games are expected to bring together more than 1500 athletes from 15 National Olympic Committees of the Organización Deportiva Suramericana (ODESUR), representing countries including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Suriname, and host nation Panama.  These Games serve as a major multi-sport platform for the region’s emerging athletes and promote excellence, friendship, and the Olympic spirit.
As Archery Guyana divulged, in preparation for the event, Cummings and Singh have been undertaking focused training sessions aimed at sharpening their technical execution, mental focus, and competition readiness. Their preparation reflects Archery Guyana’s continued commitment to developing athletes capable of competing at the highest regional and international levels.
The Board of Directors of Archery Guyana wished to express their sincere appreciation to President Godfrey Munroe and the Executive Committee of the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) for their support in facilitating the country’s participation in these Games. The Association noted that it looked forward to travelling alongside the other disciplines that will represent Guyana and proudly showcasing the nation’s talent on the international stage.
Logistical preparations for the delegation are currently being coordinated with Chef-de-Mission Carolyn Garraway, as final arrangements are made to ensure the athletes are well supported throughout the competition.
As such, Archery Guyana extended its best wishes to Cummings and Singh as they prepare to compete and represent Guyana with pride in Panama.
