IPF/NAPF Regional Powerlifting Championships

THE eight-member Guyana powerlifting team will be arriving home tonight, heavily decorated after they netted six gold and three bronze medals at the just concluded 16^th Annual IPF/NAPF Regional Power Lifting Championships in Mexico City, Mexico, which began on August 1 and ended on Saturday, 4th.
