Achelle Guion (born December 29, 1971) is a Filipino powerlifter who has competed in the 2012 Summer Paralympics.
Early life and education
Guion was born on December 29, 1971[2] in Manila, Philippines. She attended the Trinity University of Asia in Quezon City to pursue a course on business management and later worked as a production worker.[3]
Career
Guion started her powerlifting career in 2003. Her acquired impairment was caused by the effects of poliomyelitis.[3] She was among the three powerlifters who represented the Philippines in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London along with Adeline Dumapong and Agustin Kitan. Guion herself competed in the women's -44kg event[4] where she placed sixth among eight competitors by lifting 70 kilograms.[5]
At the 2014 Asian Para Games in Incheon, Guion won a silver medal in the women's -45 kg event by lifting 70 kilograms and in the 2017 World Para Powerlifting Championships in Mexico City, Guion placed eight by lifting the same weight in the same weight category.[3] She won another silver in the 2018 Asian Para Games in Jakarta in the women's -45 kg event behind China's Guo Lingling of China.[6]
Guion qualified for the 2020 Summer Paralympics through a bi-partite invitation.[7][8] However, she tested positive for COVID-19 amidst a pandemic of the disease, forcing her to withdraw from the games.[9]
