“This wonderful opportunity allows for the improvement social cohesion, improving the understanding of the importance of sports heroes in national development, national pride and patriotism to a certain extent.”
Hosting such an event, Fernandes shared, displayed the Ministry and Sports Commission’s potential of executing an unbelievable event, because it was.
“I think that the athletes appreciated it, and I know for sure, more of them will want to be present going forward once these types of quality events are put on. I have no doubt that the next one will be even better. Timing is critical in order to get the overseas nominees to come and I think even the nominees will want to be a part of that as well.”
Looking at the surge in the construction of new facilities and the refurbishment of others, nationwide, the Head of Squash in Guyana and the Caribbean posited that this is the right move by the Ministry and Government.
“When we look at the investment in sports facilities, it’s remarkable because I travel all over the country and I’m seeing admirable progress. Those in Berbice, on the East Coast with the lights, the stadium in Essequibo, and Linden, I see that there is evidence that a velodrome would be done, the hockey facility, the facilities done for racquet sports as well, all addas up to amazing times for our athletes and fans. This is huge for this nation.”
“The Cliff Anderson Sports Hall looks unbelievable, recently I went to it and it’s a very comfortable environment with the air-conditioning and I know for sure that the athletes would have appreciated that level of comfort.”
