Guyana would be represented in the disciplines of Badminton, Boxing, Squash, Table Tennis, Weightlifting, Athletics and Swimming.
Guyana’s delegation is led by Chef-de-Mission Deirdre Edghill, and importantly has a physiotherapy Jana Edghill onboard.
Treasurer of the Guyana Olympic Association Garfield Wiltshire pointed out that Eureka Labs has provided the PCR tests for the entire Guyana contingent free of charge, like it did for the country’s delegation at the Tokyo Olympic Games earlier this year.
Notably, this contingent is way bigger than the one that travelled to Tokyo.
“As you know these tests are not cheap, and they have again come forward and provided these tests free of charge. We would like to express our appreciation to them for offering this service to us,” Wiltshire said.

Athletes and officials who would be representing Guyana at the inaugural Junior Pan Am Games, starting November 25 (Photo: News Room/Avenash Ramzan/November 19, 2021)Kalam Juman-Yassin, the long-serving President of the Guyana Olympic Association, delivered the charge to the Guyanese athletes and officials, as they prepare to embark on the historic journey, one that could potentially shape their budding careers.
He emphasised the need for them to be good Ambassadors and role models.
“You are representing Guyana…and I ask you wherever you go, ensure you conduct yourself in a way that would not be disrespectful to the society of Colombia, and would be as respectful as we would want it in Guyana,” Juman-Yassin urged the athletes and officials.
