An aggressive day is expected as athletes will put their competitive strength to test in their quest for podium spots when the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation stage its Masters/ Intermediate power lifting championships tomorrow, Sunday at St. Stanislaus College.
Jamie McDonald (L) proprietor of fitness Express presents the cheque to PRO / organising secretary of the GAPLF Mark Seymour in the presence of Gordon Spencer president of the GAPLF.
Athletes from Essequibo and Berbice will rub shoulders with their counterparts from Demerara as months of rigid training will boil down to a few hours of evaluation where competitors’ fitness, form endurance and mental toughness will play an important role in their performance.
The Berbicians have been producing some sterling performances over the years and a lot is expected of them once again, while the Essequibo athletes have shown a lot of promise and kept improving their game.
Among those expected to break records in the Masters category are Arnold Archer Master 4, 83 years old Richard Fredericks Master 3 , 67 years old Homwatti Hirawan M1, Ramesh Seeharran M1 93kg and Lalita Bridgemohan M1 72kg from Essequibo.
Fans can also look forward to see Winston Stoby, Nigel Phillips, Toni Ferreira, Marlon Wilson, Marley, Vyphius, Ashlie Abraham and Sarah Goptar.
