The decision by France-based semi-professional table tennis players Dexter St Louis and Rheann Chung to challenge their non-selection by the Trinidad and Tobago Table Tennis Association (TTTTA) on the team for the upcoming Commonwealth Games has implications for the selection of athletes here in Guyana.
In filing an interim injunction restraining the TTTTA from going ahead with its decision to select youngsters Aaron Wilson and Yuvraj Dookram with Arun Roopnarine as the alternate, for the April 4-15 Games, France and Chung have shown that they are not afraid to challenge the status quo in Trinidad with respect to selection of athletes by the respective associations/federations.
They are also forcing the TTTTA to have to justify the selections.
