DIRECTOR of Sport Steve Ninvalle and Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC) Kashif Muhammad have both indicated their support for the Guyana Amateur Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (GABBFF) Senior National Championships, which is scheduled to be held on December 18 at the National Cultural Centre.

Earlier this week, the federation visited the two officials and according to the president of the GABBFF, Keavon Bess, they both indicated that the Commission “will be a strong financial contributor” to the event, which was cancelled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bess noted that although the exact extent of financial support has not been indicated, the GABBFF expects that “with its fundraising activities and support from the National Sports Commission and other sponsors such as Fitness Express, it will be able to make Seniors 2021 a grand spectacle”.

Along with presenting the federation’s budget for the event, Bess also introduced the members of the successful CAC 2021 team to the two officials. These included bronze medal winner in the Bikini category Rosanna Fung and silver medallist in the Male Physique category Emmerson Campbell.
Bess also discussed Guyana’s successful bid to host CAC 2024 with the officials, who both congratulated the federation.

Meanwhile, Ninvalle and Muhammad were informed that bodybuilders Darious Ramsammy and Nicholas Albert are expected to travel for the 2021 Dominican Republic IFBB Open scheduled for October 22-24.
