Guyanese Jennifer Inniss won Pan Am Games silver but not for Guyana

By Charwayne Walker

They say a prophet is never honoured in his own country and sometimes an athlete is not valued unless he/she competes for another country.

This seems to be the case with Guyanese Jennifer Inniss.

Jennifer Inniss who represented the country of her birth Guyana at the 1979 and 1983 Pan American Games never won a medal at those games.

However, Inniss was on the podium at the 1987 Pan American Games held in Indianapolis, United States of America.
