Raul Lall (aka Chris) can be seen in this pic third from left! This is the first time in history as far as anyone has been able to determine - that a member of the Lokono-Arawak Tribal Nation has become an Olympic athlete!
Raul Lall ( aka Chris ) is a proud Member of both the House of Water Judo & Rising Sun Judo Clubs in Guyana; South America. He was born on 27th July 1994.
He has represented Guyana in several International competitions:
* Barbados Independence International Judo Tournament - in December 2010 - where he captured the Gold medal for the Under 60kgs category.
* Dominican Republic Senior Caribbean championship in March, 2011- where he won the Bronze medal in the Under 66kgs category.
* Panama City at the Caribbean/Latin American Judo Championship in March 2012 - where he won the Silver medal in the Under 60kgs category.
So far he is the only Judoka from Guyana to make it to the Olympics - and his event will be the under 73kgs category.
May Awa Adaiahuli (the Great Holy Spirit) take you to London and bring you back to us safely, and as you compete in your events - be secure in the knowledge that the support and love of the ENTIRE Lokono-Arawak Tribal Nation - and indeed all of Guyana is with you!
