Guyana to be represented in 10 disciplines at CAC Games
52 athletes from ten sports disciplines will represent Guyana at this year’s Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games, which open on June 23rd, 2023 in El Salvador.
Team Guyana consists of 67 persons, comprising of 52 athletes, 13 officials and 2 medical staff.
Guyana will be competing in archery, athletics, badminton, basketball, boxing, swimming, table tennis, and weight-lifting; and will be making their debut in fencing.
Chef de mission, Karen Pilgrim, said at a briefing on Tuesday afternoon, “All athletes will take instructions from their respective team manager, who will in turn receive the direction from the chef de mission or deputy chef de mission. Athletes are required to observe the games which prevent them from entering into any contract in a professional nature prior to the closure of the Games. They must not allow their person, name, picture or performance to be used for advertising.”
She continued, “They must not carry advertising materials on their person or clothing. All members of the team must, at all times, remember that they are ambassadors for Guyana abroad, and must conduct themselves in such a manner as to do credit to their country. This includes dressing properly, and observe general measures receiving their medals that they are wearing the team uniform portraying the team Guyana.”
Individual members of the team have, moreover, been advised to watch their diets following any nutritional guideline provided by their coach or team manager; to watch their weights, reporting any weight gain or loss to their coach or team manager; and to adhere to their stipulated training schedules, to report any mishaps to the team manager for medical attention.
