Career

Guion started her powerlifting career in 2003. Her acquired impairment was caused by the effects of poliomyelitis.[2] 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[3] where she placed sixth among eight competitors by lifting 70 kilograms.[4]

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.[2] 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.[5]

Guion qualified for the 2020 Summer Paralympics through a bi-partite invitation.[6][7] However, she tested positive for COVID-19 amidst a pandemic of the disease, forcing her to withdraw from the games.[8]
