Rawle Green ‘grateful’ for medals earned at CAC 2022

…hopes to retain gold medal

By Timothy Jaikarran

Rawle Greene was one of Guyana’s many athletes who medalled at the CAC Bodybuilding Championships held in Barbados. Experienced and very capable, Green was able to cop gold in the Masters Under-50 years old category and bronze in the Under-90 kg bodybuilding category.
According to Greene, although there had not been other athletes competing in the Masters Under-50-years-old category, he is still grateful for the gold medal he earned competing in that category.

“Winning the gold medal at CAC, it means a lot. For me, I would have rather been in a class with more competitors. In this Masters category that I won the gold medal, I was the only bodybuilder in that class; but nevertheless, it is a gold medal, and it means a lot winning a gold medal at CAC,” Green shared.
Further, he noted that the high point of the competition for him was hearing Guyana’s National Anthem being played, as it brought back good memories of his younger self during his track days representing Guyana as a sprinter.
He relayed that he is looking forward to participating in the competition next year, and he would be working assiduously to iron out the kinks in his armour.
Greene has said he has to put a bit more work into his upper body and get his arms a bit bigger, as he believes those achievements are good enough for him to repeat his gold medal performance in 2023.
Pertaining to what keeps him motivated, Greene said he is a fighter, and has a love for competition. He divulged that whether on track or stage, his love for competition is there, hence he always looks forward to competing every year. He explained that this mentality is “what keeps him in check year after year”, affording him the opportunity to go on stage and showcase what he has worked hard to attain in the gym.

An athlete with a most enviable physique, the talented Greene has showered praise on his comrades and the Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation for playing their part in his journey.

“I would like to thank the Guyana Bodybuilding & Fitness Federation for selecting me to represent Guyana once more. I would like to thank all the members of the Guyana contingent that represented at CAC. They encouraged and supported us while we were on stage, and my training partner Kerwin Clarke for always pushing me to do my best.”
