Summary
Guyana’s powerlifting scene is exploding as two local coaches, Bjorn Williams and Ashley Abraham, head to Chile for the first-ever IPF Trainer Course in the country — a landmark moment that brings top-tier training right to home soil. Backed by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and other national sports bodies, this three-day event (Sept 17-19) aims to build technical excellence and ensure compliance with new international rules — including the critical requirement for female coaches at women’s championships. With only one IPF-certified coach currently based overseas, this move is vital for local growth. The course also unites powerlifting nations across South America — Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and more — setting the stage for Guyana’s strong showing at the 2026 South American Championships just days later. Seventeen athletes, ten making their international debut, are poised to represent Guyana on the global stage — powered by smarter coaching and a bold new generation ready to compete.
