The Malteenoes Sports Club (MSC) recently sent congratulations to Olympic Table-Tennis player, Chelsea Edghill and her Coach Idi Lewis, who are at the Tokyo Olympics.
This is this Country’s 17 appearance at the biggest multi-sport games in the world since its inaugural participation in 1948 as British Guiana. “On behalf of the Executives and Members of the Malteenoes Sports Club, I take this opportunity to congratulate 22-year-old Chelsea Edghill on being Guyana’s first-ever Table Tennis player to represent her country, at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Edghill, the Caribbean Under-21 Champion, created history when she received a ‘Wild Card’ for the Olympics being the only female Table Tennis player in the World to do so. Club president Deborah McNichol said via statement, “We at Malteenoes are very proud of your achievement and we wish to express our heartfelt gratitude for your dedication and commitment to the sport”. “Also to the coach, Idi Lewis, also a member of Malteenoes, for his contribution over the years nurturing and training Chelsea to achieve this feat”. Malteenoes was among a number of local entities which sent their best wishes to the table-tennis ace following her first win and eventual advancement to the next phase of her journey at the Olympics.
