South American Men’s Classic Powerlifting Championships: Evans and elder statesman Naranjan Singh to compete today

Guyana’s quest for medals at the 2024 South American Men’s Classic Powerlifting Championships in Buenos Aires, Argentina will continue today when Kheon Evans and Naranjan Singh take to the platform.
Having already snared four bronze medals through the efforts of Sarah Sanmoogan on Wednesday last, Evans and Singh will be going all out to add to this tally for Guyana.
Like Sanmoogan, who competed in the Female Junior 69kg category, Evans is in his second year at this level. They had both made their debut in Peru last year. It will not be easy sailing for Evans, whose Open division has twelve (12) other lifters also vying for the medals on offer. These athletes are from Peru, Chile, Uruguay, Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Bolivia.
The evergreen Naranjan Singh, who will be celebrating his 80th birthday in a matter of weeks, will be unchallenged in his category; and all things being equal, he is set to walk away with four gold medals in his still ongoing career, which began in 2010.
