George told Kaieteur Sport yesterday that with a World Championships next year and Olympics in 2016, he needs to improve his times drastically, if he is going to give Guyana its long-awaited medal at the two blue-ribbon events in track and field.
Asked why he has not returned to sub 46-second form since qualifying for the London Olympics with his personal best 45.89 in 2011, George said “only God knows; only God can say why I’ve not, even though I have tried my best and came close”.
The Police Progressive Youth Club (PPYC), George represented Guyana at the South American Games in Chile last month. He was a finalist in the 400m race, finishing just outside the medals, in 46.10 seconds. Guyana returned medal-less from Chile.
