Congrats Niall you made it to Beijing against all odds. Yours was a truly valiant effort. Not to my fellow Guyanese throughout the world how many of you think that it is time that that raw talent guyana_always speaks about is supported by the hundreds of thousands of us scattered throughout the world. Kudos to Guy Marco for offering his residence for training. I’d like to add to that by suggesting that we get together a group of expatriates to commit to sending a monthly stipend to Guyana’s Olympic committee to fund the training of athletes in Guyana. That would include housing, meals, coach salaries and equipment etc.
Who’s on?

Like T&T and Jamaica, Guyana could be competitive in the summer olympics if the athlethes were properly trained. The raw talent is there, especially in Track and in swimming, but even the most talented need coaching. Congrats Niall for representing us. I hope you truly enjoyed your experience.

Neil – being there alone will ceratinly encourage you to conrinue to work harder. If you are the youngest – the Govn’t should pay you a salary – so that you can concentrate on your training for the next 4 years.
Unfortunately there is hardly such arrangement and hardly swimming competitions that would keep you on your toes.
I do not know where you tarin but I suggest that you go to either Rupununi or Pameroon to train in those rivers ( against current) which would strengthen your muscles of your arms and feet. I live a mile from the mighty Rupununi river if you are interested and would stay at my hut.
