Four of Guyana’s table tennis heavyweights will wing out today for a one-month high-level training camp at the Hebei Zhengding table tennis training centre in China. 

 The quartet of Natalie Cummings, Joel Alleyne, Nigel Bryan and Elsihaba Johnson will depart Guyana for the table tennis-crazy country. 

 The camp comes on the heels of Guyana’s excellent showing at the 2018 edition of the Senior Caribbean Table Tennis Championships in Jamaica a few months ago and will be used to fortify the team’s preparations for the 2019 edition of the championship which will serve as the Pan American Qualifier, one of the critical qualification events for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.  The programme according to a release by the Guyana Table Tennis Association (GTTA), is being facilitated by the Government of the People’s Republic of China.
