ORGANISERS are shifting preparations into high gear for this month’s staging of the 2015 Supligen Mr Guyana Body Building under the auspices of the Guyana Amateur Body Building and Fitness Federation (GABBFF). President of the GABBBFF, Keavon Bess, told the media that things are moving along smoothly. “Preparations for the competition so far are coming along smoothly, everything is in place; venue is already down to a tee, lights, stage, everything already has been put in place right now. The athletes are preparing their bodies and mind and fine-tuning, so on the 19th they can come and give the audience a very nice show.
Meanwhile, Bess believed that this year’s event will be a scorcher, with several athletes already in tip-top shape for the event. He continued that this year, spectators are going to be treated to a sensational display of physique display.
“This will be a very competitive competition that term probably would have been used before, but I can say that the level of body building has gone up and there is no one man that can run away with the competition. There are persons that can compete even with the current Mr Guyana, so with that being said, we urge the members of the public to come out and especially the hardcore bodybuilding fans, come out and have an enjoyable time with muscles on stage.”
The reigning Mr Guyana is Central American and Caribbean (CAC) bronze medallist Mr Kerwin ‘Chisel’ Clarke of Buddy’s Gym, who has claimed the honour for the past three years, but that may just change with the challenges of Winston Stoby and Sylvester Joseph, both being on par.
Some of the categories include the Ms Bikini and Mr Physique in which athletes will for the first time receive monetary prizes, along with hampers and supplements.
Bess says that over 40 athletes will be on show stage night, adding that he is encouraged by the pace of registration.
The event is set for the Park View Hotel on the East Bank of Demerara on July 19.
