Horace Burrowes who will accompany the team as the Coach, said he is looking at the possibility of taking a mechanic on tour and he will provide accommodation for team Guyana in Norway.
The GCF head added that he and John will journey to the USA where John will be involved in gym and hills training in preparation for the championships. Burrowes said that he is impressed with John and feels he has a bright future adding that he will accommodate him to do continuous training in the USA following his Norway trip.
