Stoby and Rahim are out due to lack of funds
Members of the National Powerlifting team set to represent Guyana at the 15th NAPF / FESUPO Pan-American Powerlifting Championships to be held in Ribeirao Preto Brazil starting September 16 – 20 were presented with t-shirts compliments of BranderZ.
A press release form the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPF) informed that the federation is currently cash strapped and was forced to reduce the number of travelling members; unfortunately, the two lifters who were forced to stay behind are two of Guyana’s best, Winston ‘Little Master’ Stoby and Vijai Rahim.
Both Stoby and Rahim have done Guyana proud in the past as two of the most decorated athletes. Stoby, a former World Master’s deadlift record holder and Rahim, a Caribbean and National record holder, both lifters were gold medal and record hopefuls at this competition, according to the GAPF release.
The donation of uniforms will outfit the travelling 8-member team of Britany Mack, Andrea Smith, Osmand Mack, Rudolph Blackman, Marino Jeffrey, GAPF General Secretary / IPF Referee Gordon Spencer, GAPF PRO/Organising Secretary / IPF Scorer Denroy Livan and Assistant Manager / Coach, Vickram Budhram.
Manager of BranderZ Guyana, Mr. Martin Brock in handing over the tee shirts to GAPF’s Organising Secretary / Public Relations Officer Denroy Livan noted his pleasure in assisting the team in being uniformed for the 15th NAPF / FESUPO Pan-American Powerlifting Championships.
Given the lack of funds in the coffers of the GAPF, the athletes and officials who are travelling are footing their own expenses (airfare, accommodation, meals) primarily, the federation was able to pay the membership and affiliation fees.
