At the end of a week of tough competition in the Caribbean Regional Badminton Confederation Junior tournament (Carebaco International), contested at the National Racquet Centre in Trinidad and Tobago, the 12-member contingent of Guyanese players who rallied under the Golden Arrowhead still had something to celebrate, as promising young racquet wielder Gianna Ramnarine bagged the team’s only medal.
Gianna Ramnarine captured bronze in the U13 Singles
Gianna Ramnarine has secured a bronze medal in the Girls Under-13 Singles. According to the Guyana Badminton Association (GBA), it was a tough outing for the rest of the athletes, as it was their first tournament outside of Guyana. However, they were enthusiastic, and look forward to attending more international tournaments for the exposure, experience, and of course a chance to medal.
With this campaign having concluded on a somewhat successful note, the Guyana Badminton Association has said, it wishes to extend special gratitude to the parents who made this trip possible, and to the sponsors: Machinery Corporation of Guyana (MACORP), Guyana Oil Company (GUYOIL), Devendra Persaud, Jason Stephney, and Coaches Priyanna Ramdhani and Akili Haynes, who will now be competing in the Trinidad and Tobago International in the Men’s Singles, Women’s Singles, Doubles and Mixed Doubles categories.
That T&T International competition commenced on Wednesday, August 23, 2023.
