GUYANA’s National Badminton Champion and Olympic prospect, Narayan Ramdhani won gold at the Jack VCR Jack Underhill Open Singles Tournament played at the Vancouver Rackets Club in Vancouver BC, Canada over the weekend.

Narayan won the Gold Medal in the Open Men’s Singles Competition and Bronze in the Open Men’s Doubles.

According to a release from the Guyana Badminton Association (GBA) “This is a great achievement, considering last year he [Narayan] got the Bronze Medal in Singles at this tournament and this year he won the Gold.

“[It] shows that his training is progressing at the Shuttlesport Badminton Academy in Vancouver where he is based for over a year and a half. There is no doubt that he has a consistent record over the last 8 years.”

This is also Ramdhani’s second Gold in a stretch as he won the Under-23 men’s singles at the 2017 VRC Remembrance Day Open Badminton Tournament in Vancouver, BC, Canada last year (2017).

Narayan will be taking part in a number of tournaments leading up to the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast Australia in April 2018, when he will be representing Guyana.
