Seventeen year old Nolan Smith shot to prominence in the Bodybuilding world when he won the overall Guyana Amateur Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation’s (GABBFF) Novice Championships last weekend, an achievement that came as a shock to the young man.

Immediately after the competition, Smith announced this by saying “I didn’t expect to win the competition.”
However, the talented youngster pointed out what made his victory so special, noting that he is very young and trained hard since he was in form three.
He went on to “give thanks to the almighty first and foremost and my family and everyone who have been supporting me.”
The Life Gym bodybuilder pointed out the key to success was the people around him, “family and so who help me with food and supplements especially the trainer [Caerus] Cipriani, who was behind me all the time, eating right, getting my diet right everything, training hard every day just trying to bring down my weight because it wouldn’t be possible without getting off some of the belly fat”.
Smith walked away with three titles on the night including the prestigious Under-21 as well as the middleweight category before flexing into the main showdown for the overall championship where he did not disappoint.
Additionally, the talented teen has grabbed the attention of President of the GABBFF, Coel Marks who while on Radio Guyana Inc. 89.5 said Smith is immensely talented and has a far way to go in the bodybuilding world.
Marks went on to add that he believes that smith has not even reached his genetic potential yet, being just 17 years old and already winning, therefore it is only inevitable through proper guidance that he will reach to the top of the field.
By virtue of winning the Novice championship, Smith has earned a spot in the Seniors championship which is billed to take place within the next few months. (Romario Samaroo)
