GUYANA’S badminton ace Priyanna Ramdhani has gained a Badminton Scholarship at the Olds College, Alberta, Canada and will represent her College Badminton Team BRONCOS.

Priyanna, the country’s National and Caribbean champion, will also be studying for a Diploma in Business and Sports Management.

The Guyana Badminton Association (GBA) in a release stated that they’re “quite pleased that this opportunity came at a time when Priyanna can develop her game further and is only heading in one direction, which is, playing in the Olympics which we know with all her great performances that her ambition will one day materialise.” 

Ramdhani’s recent Classic performance was just a month ago when she was crowned Triple Champion at the Carebaco International Open Championships held in Barbados.

Head coach of Broncos, Mary Smith, who drafted Ramdhani noted, according to the GBA, “Priyanna is a force on the courts, winning a triple crown at the Caribbean games this past year, and ranked #1 in Guyana.”

Smith said, “Priyanna has grown up with badminton since she was a young girl having her father as her coach and her brother as a team mate. Priyanna has a champion’s heart on and off the court.  Her positive attitude, determination, commitment to her studies, and support of her team mates exemplify what it is to be a Bronco student athlete.

Priyanna also has her sights on the Olympics and we are here to help her achieve her dream. Olds College Broncos badminton team is thrilled to have Priyanna join the team this season.”
