Standout distance athlete, Cleveland Forde has opted out of the third and final leg of the South American 10K Classic in Panama on Sunday, throwing a wrench in the prospect of a historic clean sweep for Guyana.
Forde, 33, along with Winston Missigher and Cleveland Thomas swept the podium in the first two legs, first in Suriname on October 28 then here on November 4.
After their dominance in the first two legs, the track and field fraternity was buzzing about the possibility of the three athletes heading to Panama to once again crowd the podium steps.
