Minister within the Ministry of Education, Nicolette Henry admitted that more support for local athletes is needed if they are to excel on the world stage.

As a result, she pledged the government’s support to partner with athletes who will be representing Guyana at international meets.

“Guyanese can become world class athletes if given the training and exposure. The government of Guyana is committed to providing support for the athletes and we intend to support them to participate in international meets wherever they exist.”
