All 11 athletes from Guatemala safely arrived to Paris this morning after IOC EB provisionally lifted suspension of NOC (National Olympic Committee) of Guatemala.

Unfortunately, Comité Olímpico Guatemalteco was able to secure only low-cost flight tickets and our athletes arrived after rather long and uncomfortable narrow-body journey.
They departed Guatemala city right before midnight, arrived to JFK next day at 5:50am and after 12 hour layover continued on A321LR to Paris.

Thanks to the high price of the tickets, coaches, masseurs and the rest of the team will unfortunately have to use another route and it is speculated that they will try to get on board of special flight in neighboring Belize. We will keep you informed...
