GUYANA’s team is all set to participate in the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile, from October 20 – November 5.
Twenty athletes will represent Guyana across the disciplines of Archery, Badminton, Boxing, Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Swimming, Weight lifting, Electronic Sports (Esports) and Track and Field.

On Friday, a hybrid meeting was convened at the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport as part of the new protocol between the Ministry, National Sports Commission and Guyana Olympic Association regarding meeting with national athletes to ensure all systems are in place to aid their performance.
Minister Charles Ramson Jr. extended well wishes for himself, the government and the people of Guyana.

He individually spoke to each team’s respective managers, coaches and athletes.
He engaged them on their preparedness and queried if there were any challenges or areas in which they could work collaboratively to improve the athletes’ prospects at the games.
He urged the athletes to do their best, be proud representatives and use the opportunity as a building block for achieving greater heights in all aspects of their career as athletes and general development.

GOA President Godfrey Munroe was present with members of his Executive Committee.
He delivered a charge and wished all the athletes well on behalf of the GOA.
He noted that a critical feature of Guyana’s representation is the diversity of disciplines for which we have qualified athletes at the games.
Deion Nurse has been appointed Chef de Mission.
