The affiliate associations/federations of the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) last evening voted in favour of ratifying its constitution based on the recommendations of its parent body, the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

During the Special General Meeting hosted at Olympic House, the GOA affiliates made a key change to its constitution which now includes in its governance principles to limit the age of executive members to 70 years.

The associations/federation voted 29-13 to implement the age limit capped at three score and 10.
