The Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation has cancelled its calendar of activities for 2020. This was revealed in a release to the media.
It read; “Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to cancel all activities for the remainder of 2020. There will be no participation in any international competitions, until there is guaranteed safety for our athletes and officials”.
According to the missive; “This pandemic has presented many health and safety issues. As such it would be ill- advised for us to hold events, without potentially placing everyone at our events at risk. We have appreciated your support over the years and we look forward to resuming events in 2021”.
In closing, the Executive members of the GAPLF offered their prayers and best wishes to; “all who have been affected by this pandemic and hope for a quick return to normalcy for us all”.
