After the conclusion of the Table Tennis and Swimming section of the Games where Guyana’s 2 time Olympian Chelsea Edghill reached the Women’s singles quarter finals, Nigel Bryan and Shemar Britton reaches the Men’s Doubles quarter finals and probably the real chance where Guyana had a chance to secure its first medal in this edition of the Games, the Guyana mixed doubles pair of Shemar Britton and Chelsea Edghill came within one point on two occasions of not only qualifying for the quarters finals but in fact making it with a little bit of luck right through to the finals.
