Eleven bodybuilding athletes have been shortlisted by the Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation Inc. (GBBFFI) to compete in this year’s Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Bodybuilding and Fitness Championships next month in Barbados.
During a Zoom meeting yesterday, President of the body, Keavon Bess, disclosed that former five-time Mr. Guyana and two-time CAC gold medalist, Kerwin Clarke, will lead the formidable unit which also includes the decorated Emmerson Campbell, Darious Ramsammy and Rosanna Fung. Campbell is a five-time Mr. Guyana (Men’s Physique) and three-time CAC medalist. Ramsammy is the current Mr. Guyana (bodybuilding) while Fung is the reigning two-time Ms. Bikini champ and CAC bronze medalist.
Other members of the team are bodybuilders, Julio Sinclair,
Nicholas Albert, Roger Callender, Rawle Greene, Jonathan Jeffries (Men’s Physique), Christina Ramsammy (Bikini) and Asanti Conway (Wellness).
The 49th edition of the highest Regional fitness championship is scheduled for July 27-August 1 and will be hosted at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre in St Michael. Bess told this publication yesterday that he expects the athletes to return home with hardware since he is aware that they have their hard hats on putting in overtime in their respective gyms.
The federation’s head also stated that many Guyanese have signalled their intention of travelling to support the team since it is around the same time as Crop Over.
Guyana is set to host the annual event in 2024.
