Guyana’s contingent of medal chasing athletes departed for the FLOW CARIFTA Games yesterday as the country looks set to once again compete for podium places during the annual Regional championships over three days.

The 2018 games, which marks the 47th edition, takes place in The Bahamas from Easter Saturday at the Thomas Robinson Stadium and about 600 athletes are scheduled to compete.

Guyana, which has fared well at the games over the years, won eight medals last year. The 18 athletes donning the national colours will be aiming to surpass that.

However, the mighty Jamaicans are expected to dominate and win their 34th straight title.
