Kaieteur News: "The past few weeks saw Olympic Fever in Guyana. Though that fever has given way to the Carifesta bug, I believe that there are certain points which need to be made about Guyana’s failure to secure Olympic medals over the years.
As far as my memory goes, Guyana has only one Olympic medal - a bronze medal won by Michael Parris in boxing. Guyana has not had a podium position, as far as I can remember, since then.
This, of course, is in stark contrast to countries such as Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago and the Bahamas, which have continued to win medals at Olympic Games, particularly in the field of athletics. How does one assess the success of these athletes as compared with our country?"
