Guyana’s team at the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Bodybuilding Championships finished the competition with an impressive seven medals, inclusive of four gold medals, two silver medals and one bronze medal.
Mr Guyana Physique Champion 2022 and 2022 silver medallist, Emmerson Campbell represented Guyana in the Men’s Physique under 173cms category and convincingly dominated the stage to capture his first gold medal at CAC. This gold medal will go well alongside his three previous CAC silver medals.
Mr Guyana Bodybuilding Champion, Darious Ramsammy, in his second outing at CAC 2023, returned a convincing performance in the compulsory and free posing routine to capture his first CAC medal when he placed third in the under 85kgs category, a hard-earned addition to his current reign as Mr Guyana Bodybuilding Champion.

Miss Guyana Bikini Champion 2022, Hannah Rampersaud, at her second CAC and after falling short of the medals at CAC 2022 in Barbados, opted for the women’s wellness category and rebounded well at this CAC to capture gold in the junior women’s wellness category and silver in the senior women’s wellness category up to 158cms.
2022 CAC silver medallist Nicholas Albert, at his third opportunity to represent the Golden Arrowhead at CAC, captured a gold medal in the junior bodybuilding category after a dominant performance. In the under 90kgs category Albert, with stiff competition from his Central America and Caribbean counterparts, again dominated and captured his second medal for the day. His performance in the under 90kgs category earned him a spot in the overall, where he was easily the crowd favourite but Josue Mata Mendez of Mexico emerged as the overall winner of bodybuilding.
2022 CAC gold medallist Rawle Greene, who has represented Guyana well at CAC for over 10 years, had a good showing in the Men’s Classic Bodybuilding over 175 cms and in the up to 85kgs category but unfortunately finished in fifth place both times.
2022 CAC gold medallist, Julio Sinclair, in his second CAC and defending his gold medal at CAC 2022 in Barbados, went up against the big guys of Central America and the Caribbean and dominated the field to secure a silver medal and barely missing out on booking a spot into the overall.
2022 CAC silver medallist Christina Ramsammy, who was arguably in the toughest line-up of the entire CAC 2023, did not make the final cut for the finals of the senior bikini up to 169cms category.
As such, the Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (GBBFF) extended congratulations to the entire team that represented Guyana at CACBBFF Championship Aruba 2023.
In addition, special thanks were extended to all the sponsors who hopped on board to make the success of Team Guyana possible; special mention was made of the Guyana Olympic Association, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport; the National Sports Commission and SAB Mining.
