In 2017 Adonis was 2nd, one year later she copped the first place, while last year she had to settle for the 3rd place but this year, the modest Adonis has eyes set on the top podium position, once again.
The 22 year-old disclosed that a few weeks ago she picked up an injury which has curtailed her training schedule somewhat: “Training has been slow due to an injury sustained a few weeks ago but obviously, the intention every time I compete is to make it on to the podium and that still remains the same goal this year.”
The 2019 winner, Suriname’s Ava Zalman will not be here to defend her title so the battle to this spot will be amongst Adonis and nine (9) other females (including other Surinamese) who will all be hoping to gain the upper hand after event one which is set for Sunday morning from 06:30hrs at the National Park, registration commencing at 06:00hrs.

Competition will continue from 13:00hrs where spectators are expected to be out in their numbers to absorb the action and cheer the athletes on.
