He’s known as the face of Badminton in Guyana but Gokarn Ramdhani is now seeing his hard work and dedication to the sport paying off.

Ramdhani, who is the President of the Guyana Badminton Association (GBA) and Secretary General of the Caribbean Badminton Confederation (CAREBACO), was on Monday last, elected as the General Secretary for the Central America & Caribbean Badminton Association (CONCECABA).

At the general meeting held at the Omega Sports Complex in Mexico and attended by 13 countries, his nomination was supported unopposed, which will see him serving in the idiosyncratic position for four years (2014 – 2018) and is the first Guyanese to hold such position in the gentleman’s game.

“I am very happy that the badminton arena internationally is seeing my work and interest in the development of Badminton and I will continue to do as much as I can to continue this progress,” Ramdhani said.

Currently in Xalapa Veracruz Mexico for the Central American & Caribbean (CAC) Games, as Manager/Coach for Badminton, Ramdhani will be hoping to see the youngest player at the tournament, his son Narayan Ramdhani, and Jonathan Mangra cop Gold when they compete today in the Singles Events.
