– Guyana to hosts 2024 games
Guyana’s Rosanna Fung snagged bronze in the Ms. Bikini segment of the 2021 tournament being contested in El Salvador. The Guyanese, who is a member of the delegation that traveled to the South American country, kicked off Guyana’s participation in the 48th edition of the tournament. Meanwhile, Guyana will host the 2024 edition of the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Bodybuilding championships. This was confirmed via president of the Guyana Amateur Body Building and Fitness Federation (GABBFF) president, Kevon Bess. A statement from Bess said, “Guyana will host CAC 2024 (Central America and the Caribbean Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation Championship).” Initially, Guyana’s bid to host CAC 2023 was submitted to the Executive of the CACBBFF.
However, CAC 2023 was given to Aruba after their bid was revealed to have been presented since 2020.
Barbados, at CAC 2019, had also bid for and secured CAC 2022. At both of these General Assembly, Guyana was not represented.
After consideration of Guyana’s bid, documents and oral presentation on Guyana’s behalf, the CAC General Assembly unanimously voted in favour of Guyana for CAC 2024. This vote was then officially minuted and an official document to this effect was handed to the President of the GBBFF.
Congratulations to the Executive members of GBBFF, its athletes and the people of Guyana on this monumental achievement.
Guyana has hosted its only CAC bodybuilding event in 2004.
