In contrast to the nation’s Olympic medal drought, Guyana’s strong men and women continue to excel at the Caribbean Powerlifting Championships.
Gladiators, Karel Mars, Earwyn Smith and Andrea Smith will all return home with hardware from St Croix following the weeklong championship in the US Virgin Island.
Mars squatted, bench pressed and dead lifted his way to a gold medal in the 105kg Open category while Smith (Earwyn) earned a silver in the 93kg men’s Open division. His namesake, despite suffering a back injury did enough to snare a bronze in the women’s 63kg class.
