Description

Guyana’s Ceili Peterson stunned the world by claiming bronze in the Women’s Under-49 Taekwondo at the Central American and Caribbean Games — the nation’s first-ever medal at these Centennial Games. With a dominant 2-0 victory over Venezuela’s Yulienny Pedraza, Peterson’s historic win was fueled by team spirit, relentless dedication, and the unwavering support of her coach, family, and sponsors. Though gold was her goal, she celebrated this milestone as proof of her potential and a stepping stone toward Guyana’s first Olympic gold in LA 2028. Her coach called her one of the most disciplined athletes he’s ever worked with, and the Guyana Olympic Association hailed the achievement as a turning point for the nation’s sporting legacy. With 55 athletes competing across 10 sports, Guyana’s journey at the Games is just beginning.
