World Men’s Juniors and Sub-Juniors Classic Championships: Guyanese Tyrell and Hunter primed to take on the world

Following on the heels of the World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships which took place in June in Malta, and in which Guyana was represented by Carlos ‘The Show Stopper’ Peterson-Griffith, the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation is gearing to be present at another world championship.
Come next week, August 24 to September 3rd, the Golden Arrowhead would be flying high at the World Classic & Equipped Sub-Juniors & Juniors Powerlifting Championships set for Cluj Napoca, Romania. Guyana would be represented in the Sub-Juniors category by Romeo Hunter, and in the Juniors category by T&T-based Dominic Tyrell.

In the 83kg class, Hunter will battle 20 other lifters from Finland, Italy, USA, New Zealand, Great Britain, Slovakia, India, Czechia, Ireland, Canada, Turkiye, Thailand, South Africa, and Japan.
Dominic Tyrell will be seeking glory in the 74kg division as he takes on 19 other athletes from Canada, Spain, India, France, Italy, Singapore, Hungary, Mexico, Ireland, New Zealand, Great Britain, Philippines, Czechia, Kuwait, and Turkiye.
Both athletes have been going through rigorous training by their respective coaches, and have been following a very strict schedule as well as a deliberate diet plan in order to be in the best possible shape for this marquee event.

Over 112 lifters have been nominated in the various categories for the Sub-Juniors competition, with 150 set to face off in the Juniors showdown.
Accompanying the duo would be IPF Category 11 Referee Franklyn Brisport-Luke, who would also be performing official duties.
