By Timothy Jaikarran
The GBBFF’s very highly anticipated National Seniors Bodybuilding Championships would this evening be staged at the National Cultural Centre from 18:00hrs, and all the participating athletes are “pumped and primed” to present their best package.
The magnificent Darious Ramsammy had, in 2021, taken to the stage with what had appeared to be an exclusive transport, and had come away with local bodybuilding’s principal title of “Mr Guyana”. Tonight, however, he would very likely be hard pressed to repeat this feat, even as he seeks to retain his title and be considered the first among equals in this sport of body beauty.
In an interview with this publication, this local Hulk was asked what he thought of the competition, and he responded: “I’m excited! Because I’ve been waiting all year to step on stage, and I can’t wait to eat my holiday foods. I’m very much confident. After last year, we went back to the drawing board and pinpointed the points that needed improving, and (we) worked on them. And in doing so, we have created something that the Mr. Guyana stage has NEVER seen before!”
Ramsammy noted that, in terms of competition, it would be remiss of him to say that there are no threats to his title, because that would make him an untruthful champion. However, he is confident that at the end of the night, he would remain the Mr Guyana title.
He also revealed that he has added about five pounds of contractile tissue to his package since last year, and is confident that his conditioning would be superior to the competition’s; thus, this time, he is here to make a statement, because he is fighting for something that is his, and he does not need to pursue what has been etched in stone.
“Retaining my title simply means that I’m the best that Guyana has to offer on the amateur level. To those who want to start bodybuilding, (I advise that they) don’t quit. Bodybuilding, fitness and health is an everyday process. Sometimes you (would) feel the urge to give up, just remember you are doing this to become a better you. Just keep pushing, you will eventually get there,” he has posited.
Ramsammy is expressing profound gratitude to his supporters, especially Twins Manufacturing, Fitness Express, BM Soat, Bad Monkey merch, GTT, CTLS, and Guywill Shipping.
Approximately 30 athletes would be competing in the four different segments of this competition: Bodybuilding, Bikini, Women’s Wellness, and Men’s Physique. Among the athletes whose participation has been confirmed are Darious Ramsammy, Christina Ramsammy, Rosanna Fung, Nicolas Albert, Emmerson Campbell, Odel Crum-Ewing, Ashanti Conway, Jonathan Jeffery, and Julio Sinclair.
