Wong set for training in Germany with Digicom’s support
Table tennis player Miguel Wong will depart local shores today for a training stint in Germany prior to back-to-back international competitions in South America.
Just before his departure, Digicom pitched in with last minute support to ensure the table tennis player receives the highest level of training. On Friday morning, Digicom was the latest business entity to join Wong’s support system in helping to finance his international training stint.

The presentation was made by Digicom’s Leslyn Cameron, and on the receiving end was a very grateful Miguel Wong.
“On behalf of Digicom, we’ll be presenting Miguel Wong…to aid in his preparation,” the Digicom representative said.
In gratitude, Wong stated, “I’m very elated to have Digicom come on board as my latest supporter towards these games.”
He went on to add, “I’m very grateful for the support so far from Corporate Guyana; from the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA); all the members of the clubs, family, friends, and everyone who in their own way have pitched whatever little to support. It always means a lot.
“Moving forward I’ll put my best foot forward to make Guyana proud,” Wong vowed.
In preparation for the Junior Pan American Games and Senior ITTF Pan Am Games, Miguel Wong is returning to the Topspin Tennis Center in Germany for a high- performance, three-week training programme. Thereafter, he will head to Peru for the Senior Games and to Colombia for the Junior Games.
Since receiving the news of his qualification, Wong has been training locally with Coach Idi Lewis in sessions he views as successful.
“The preparation so far locally has been going great. I’ve been doing a lot of multi-ball and game tactical plays in Guyana with Coach Idi (Lewis). I’m due to leave for Europe tomorrow, Saturday, where I’ll be spending at least three weeks in a training camp,” Wong related.
The Senior Pan Am Championships are scheduled for November 13-19 in Lima, Peru, while the inaugural Junior Games are billed for November 25 to December 5 in Cali, Colombia.
