Guyana's First Medal at the Games | Guyana News

Guyana just etched its name in history at the Central American and Caribbean Games as Taekwondo star Ceili Peterson claimed the nation’s first-ever medal — a hard-fought bronze in the women’s under-49kg division. Downing Venezuela’s Yulienny Pedraza in straight sets, Peterson, who also carried the flag, showed resilience after a tough semifinal loss to Colombia, bouncing back with a dominant performance. Her entire delegation — from Chef de Mission to coach Carlos Blanco and fellow athletes — rallied behind her, turning the moment into a national celebration. But for Peterson, this is just the beginning; she’s already eyeing gold at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, with her coach calling her one of the most dedicated athletes he’s ever worked with.
