GBA disappointed no national sports awards for 2020

Priyanna Ramdhani

The Guyana Badminton Association (GBA) has expressed its disappointment that there will be no 2020 National Sports Commission (NSC) award this year, noting that the 2019 junior Sportswoman-of-the-Year, Priyanna Ramdhani was primed to walk away with the award once again.

No official explanation was given for the award’s hiatus this year, however, the five-month delay in declaring a winner of the March 2 general and regional elections, coupled with the ongoing pandemic, are speculated to be the reasons behind its absence.

Additionally, the recently installed government is yet to identify a Director of Sport nor appoint members of the National Sports Commission which may further impact the possibility of the awards being organised this year.
