… Some 28 competitors complete registration process

NEXT Saturday’s Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (GBBFF) Novices Competition and Mr Linden Classic event has been given the stamp of approval by the

COVID-19 Task Force. President of the GBBFF, Keavon Bess, disclosed yesterday that the approval was the last hurdle for the federation in putting all systems in place for the event. “We have gotten all the necessary approval from the authorities and with most of our sponsorship secured, we are fully ready to host the first bodybuilding competition of the year in Guyana.” The Fitness Express-sponsored May 29 event is scheduled for Lichas Hall in Linden. With the registration deadline completed, Bess confirmed that 28 competitors will battle in Bodybuilding, Mr Physique and Ms Bikini. The athletes are now fine-tuning their preparations before they hit the stage.
The event will be spectator-free and is expected to be streamed online on popular social media sites. Bess had noted before that all systems will be in place for a COVID-19 free event. “While on stage, athletes will be required to stand six feet from each other, while backstage athletes will be required to wear their masks and maintain the mandatory physical distancing. Judges will be seated six feet from each other and will be required to wear their masks.”
