– Silver for Campbell, Fung earnes Bronze at CAC debut

AMID many questionable decisions, Guyana’s six-member Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Bodybuilding and Fitness Championship team finished with two medals at the event which was staged in El Salvador over the weekend. Men’s Physique standout, Emmerson Campbell finished with another silver (first one in 2016) in a head-scratching decision to the eventual overall winner, while Rosanna Fung snared bronze in the Junior Bikini category.
Guyana’s other competitors, Kerwin Clarke (80kg) and Yannick Grimes (Men’s Physique ) finished fifth and fourth in their respective categories while Roger Callender (65kg) and Rawle Greene (80kg and Masters) failed to crack the top six in their respective divisions.

“Congratulation to all the athletes that competed at CAC 2021, especially Rosanna Fung at her first CAC and Emmerson Campbell, who almost gained his pro card,” president of the Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (GBBFF), Attorney-at-Law Keavon Bess said in a statement.
Bess further pointed out that “we had to overcome so many obstacles to get here and when we got here a lot went against us, and with the inconsistency in the judging we still did well.” Nicholas Albert and Darius Ramsammy were originally listed to be part of the eight-member team, but had to be left behind due to being tested positive for COVID-19. The team had several travel delays regarding their departure from Guyana owing to Immigration misinformation from the organisers in San Salvador. This meant that they had to undergo another round of COVID-19 test and upon return of the results, Albert and Ramsammy were positive. “To win a bronze and a silver medal and the bid to host CAC 2024 is sufficient reasons to celebrate and to be proud,” Bess said.
