Five-Time Mr. Guyana, Kerwin Clarke went, saw and almost conquered in Barbados.

In his second outing at the event, Clarke placed third in the bodybuilding segment of the annual Darcy Beckles Classic on Saturday in a lineup of eight of the Region’s best musclemen.

The 173-pound mass of striated muscles used his sharp physique to slice through most of the competition to finish on the podium.

Clarke said he wanted to thank the almighty, his family, his mentor, Hugh Ross, Fitness Express, B.K International, Attorney-at-Law Sohan Poonai, Star Party Rentals, L. Mohabir and Sons Cambio and ACS Auto Spares and Mining Supplies for making the sojourn a success.

Meanwhile, Guyana’s other representatives at the event, Yannick Grimes (Men’s Physique Open) and Chandini Khan (Ms. Bikini Open) failed to crack the first call out (top six) in the highly competitive categories. Khan made her debut at the event while it was Grimes’ fourth time on the Darcy Beckles Classic stage.
