Work in progress as GBBFF gears up for National Seniors

… event to be held on December 17

According to Guyana Bodybuilding Fitness Federation (GBBFF) President Keavon Bess, they will be turning their focus to the National Seniors Championships, set for December 17, 2022 at the National Cultural Centre.

Bess noted that the annual spectacle was set to attract the cream of the nation’s musclemen and women who are currently in the gym, eager to pose and flex their physiques for spoils and bragging rights, and also to be shortlisted for international events.
The championships serve as a qualifier for the Region’s highest bodybuilding and fitness event, the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Championships.
During the 49th edition of the CAC Championships held in August in Barbados, Team Guyana snared a record 12 medals, five gold, six silver and a bronze.

“The Bodybuilding Federation will be expecting a large turnout of athletes as a result of the phenomenal showing of Team Guyana at the recently-concluded CAC Championships in Barbados. We envision some athletes who have been shying away from the stage will be motivated to compete in December and athletes who have already been on that stage will return to prove their mettle. Also, the athletes who went to CAC will want to return to the local stage to ensure that their name reigns supreme, so we expect a large turnout,” Bess shared.
Bess, an Attorney-at-Law, added, “We intend to put a lot into this competition on our PR end to ensure that most of Guyana receives the information about the competition and get the hype about the competition as well, so we can have a grand showing.”
Some of the athletes scheduled to compete include five-time Mr Guyana (Men’s Physique), Emmerson Campbell, who is also a four-time medallist at CAC; reigning Mr Guyana, Darious Ramsammy; CAC silver medallists Nicholas Albert, Roger Callender, Christina Ramsammy and Asanti Conway along with CAC gold medallist Julio Sinclair.
According to Bess, new IFBB Elite Pro Rosanna Fung, who earned three gold medals and her Pro Card in Barbados, is set to be the guest poser.
