TITANS Table Tennis Club’s young duo of Jonathan Van Lange and Krystian Sahadeo left Guyana’s shores yesterday for the United States of America where they will be participating in various competitions for the remainder of the year.

The duo’s first assignment will be at the Gaylord Hotel, National Harbor, Maryland where they will compete in the Joola North America Teams competition from November 23 to 25.
Titans president Dwain Dick explained that they have left at least a week early to facilitate acclimatising as they will be competing in several other tournaments.

As Van Lange and Sahadeo compete, win or lose they will be placed in categories and earn USA ranking points. They’ll not be placed in any age category. Teams will be placed with other teams with similar rankings.

Both youngsters will be returning early January and are being accompanied by their parents.
The last time a Guyanese team participated in the Joola Championships they copped gold and bronze medals in the 2016 at the same venue.

Kristian Sahadeo, Colin Wong, Denesh Persaud, Thuraia Thomas and Rolex John’s team led Guyana to the gold medal in the 11B Division back then. In Division 10, the bronze was achieved courtesy of another star-studded team which comprised Khalil Ninvalle, Terrence Raucsh, Anika Phillips, Abigail Martin and Selena Jackman.
