As expected Vanisha Munroe, Melitha Anderson and Seon Budhan took home the marquee trophies when the Intermediate Bodybuilding Championships concluded on Saturday night at the Berbice High School.
Budhan, a standout of Gym Palace, won the Under 165-Ib class, the battle of the overall and the Mr. Berbice titles on a night when the young and upcoming talent did not disappoint.
Budhan also changed into board shorts and placed second in the fledging Men’s Physique showdown where Romelton Siland was crowned champion among the four competitors.
The statuesque Munroe, of Space Gym 2.0, strutted to the first place trophy in the Ms. Bikini Wellness Class while Anderson added another Ms. Bikini trophy to her collection.
At the Novices Championship in Linden in March, Exodus Gym’s Anderson and Munroe also won their respective classes.
They took their award winning physiques to the Ancient County and mirrored that achievement. They were the only competitors in their classes.
Budhan, however, had his hands filled with Martin Long in the under 165-1b class and Alex Hamilton for the title of Mr. Berbice and the other category winners in the overall.
The crowd favorite posed and flexed his ripped physique to perfection and prevailed, ultimately taking home four trophies on the night.
The second statutory event staged by the local federation for 2023, was sponsored by Fitness Express and the Guyana Olympic Association.
Up next on the bodybuilding calendar is ‘Stage of Champions 5’. That event will be held on July 9 at the Princess Ramada.
