All roads lead this morning to the University of Guyana, George Walcott Lecture Theatre where the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPF) will host its National Intermediate and Claude Charles Memorial Championships.
Fans will be able to witness an event that promises to be explosive as athletes, who were part of the federation’s Novice’ competition earlier this year, will be taking their game up a notch while those who did not make the cut at Novices will be afforded the opportunity to make amends this time around.
Male and female Athletes have been hard at training for today’s contests and apart from individual glory the overall title is up for the taking.
Also on today will be the Claude Charles Memorial Championships which will showcase among other athletes, World Masters II Champion and Dead Lift record holder Winston “Little Master” Stoby coming up against 2011 World Masters I Bronze medalist and 2009 Pan American Open Heavyweight gold medalist ‘Big’ John Edwards.
Also competing will be the indefatigable Errol “Powder for Power” Henry.
Athletes will use this event as warm up for the upcoming Pan American Championships as well as the World Masters Championships scheduled for later this year.
Guest lifters are Osmond Mack and Colin ‘Mr. Clean’ Chesney, the latter lifter will be aiming to execute the squat under the scrutiny of the judges to fine tune his technique which caused him to fail at two previous International Championships.
