TROPHY Stall of Bourda Market is the latest body to lend its support to the E-Networks CrossFit games set for tomorrow at the National Park tarmac.

The company yesterday presented to Genesis Fitness Express and Fitness Express trophies for the top male and female winners, 1st through 3rd, and a trophy for the best gym.
Nine teams are competing against each other from 10.00hrs in five events – totalling 15 exercises. The teams will compete in four events. From that four – the top six individual male athletes and top three female athletes will be selected to contest the fifth and final round.
From here the individual winners, 1 to 3 will be decided.
The combined scores at the end of the four rounds will determine the fittest team, while the fifth and final round is the test to determine the fittest male and female individuals.
The fittest male and female will each receive one airline ticket to one of Copa Airlines’ 70 destinations.
The teams competing are the U.S. Embassy, Life Fitness, Top End, CrossFit Bel Air, Elite Systems, Fitness Paradise, Bodymaxx, Interline Fitness and the Guyana Defence Force who were given a bye to tomorrow’s games.
A West Coast team was eliminated on Wednesday.
There are 15 judges – 12 will start the day with three on rotation.
Of them, King said, “We’ve been meeting consistently with the judges so this (Wednesday’s preliminary round) gave them a feel of what the actual games will be like and also the athletes.
“So we’re expecting that everybody is ready to go.”
The judges for this event are drawn from across the fitness family in Guyana – some are current athletes – such as Mr Guyana Kerwin Clarke, Ms Flex Night Bikini winner Shawnell Warner and former Mr Guyana Sylvon Gardner, Powerlifting executive members and ‘Big John’ Edwards and Paul Adams, personal trainers Aubrey Henry and Floyd Ferreira and bodybuilding judge David Gomes.
A rig it to be erected on the tarmac of the National Park today. It will be the station where the athletes will test their upper body strength with the pull-up.
King also told Chronicle Sport that there will be a medical team and two ambulances on standby at the venue, should they be needed.
