Guyana’s track and field athletes facing dilemma

Local track and field athletes are in a dilemma when it comes to competing at the South America Championships, the highest area event prior to the Olympic Games.

After Argentina shelved plans to host the meet initially scheduled for May 14-16, due to a surge in cases in COVID-19, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador have emerged as potential hosts to stage the event from May 28-30.

However, those are the same dates earmarked by the Athletic Association of Guyana (AAG) to run off its flagship National Senior Championships.
