Description

Guyana’s Ceili Peterson just shattered history at the Central American and Caribbean Games, claiming the nation’s first-ever medal — a bronze in women’s under-49kg taekwondo — by defeating Venezuela’s Yulienny Pedraza 2-0. As flagbearer and semifinalist, she bounced back with grit, calling the win “elated” despite falling short of gold. Her coach, Carlos Amezcua Blanco, hailed her as one of the most disciplined athletes he’s ever coached, calling this medal the launchpad for a stellar Olympic journey. Team Guyana erupted in celebration, with Chef de Mission Kenisha Headley crediting the entire delegation for rallying behind her — a moment that’s already igniting national pride and fueling momentum for the rest of the Games.
