Add Ms. Bikini champion to the resume of model, singer and guitarist, Rosanna Fung.

The multi-talented 20 year-old had the perfect debut on Saturday night on the Theatre Guild stage, strutting her way to the coveted Ms. Bikini Novices title.

Fung, a standout from Space Gym was the near perfect mix of muscularity, symmetry, beauty and style and took home the spoils for the category ahead of her worthy opponent and gym mate, Teanna Spellen.

The crowd favorite will now have her sights set on the flagship, National Seniors Championships and Regional competitions. 

She is definitely one you should be keeping your eye on in this 2019 season and beyond.

Bodybuilding

Meanwhile, Derran Harris shone brightest under the lights in the bodybuilding category. Clad in black posing trucks, he out flexed and out posed the competition to be awarded the accolade of Novices Bodybuilding Champion 2019.

Harris, of Tower Unity Gym, used his sharp physique to slice through the bantamweight class which had four other musclemen.

He then returned to the pose down with the other category champions, Shawn Ramphal (junior), Stephon John (under 155lbs) and Fabian Roza (under 164lbs) and Wayne Marshall (under 176lbs) and took the overall spoils and one year’s bragging rights.

Men’s physique

It was not an easy choice, but the judges awarded the Men’s Physique showdown

Among a group of eight physique competitors, Phillips brought the shape and stage presence the judges most wanted to see.

Like Kellman and De Anjou, he was confident, well-proportioned, well-muscled and not overly conditioned. The 22 total athletes really put on a show and the level of competition continues to rise especially in the flourishing Men’s Physique class. 

Sponsors included Fitness Express, LAW28 Fitness and Stage of Champions.

Next up on the local competition calendar is the flagship National Senior Championships. The event is billed for some time in August at a venue to be announced.
