Team Guyana’s bodybuilding contingent finished with four gold medals, two silver medals and a bronze medal when the curtains came down on the 50th edition of the CAC Bodybuilding and Fitness Championships Sunday night in Aruba.
The gold medalist were Emmerson Campbell (Men’s Physique), Nicholas Albert (junior and under 90kg) and Hannah Rampersaud (junior Bikini Wellness).
Darious Ramsammy placed third in the under 85kg class.*
Rampersaud, 22 also snared a silver medal in the under 158cm class for Wellness while Julio Sinclair posed and flexed his way to a silver medal in the over 90kg class.
Other athletes on the sojourn, Rawle Green (bodybuilding) and Christina Ramsammy (Ms. Bikini) disappointedly failed to medal in their respective classes.
Campbell became the first local athlete to earn a gold medal at the Regional Championship in the Men’s Physique class while Albert, 22 became the youngest Guyanese male to win two gold medals in the event’s history.
After winning their classes, the pair both progressed to the overall round to vie for the coveted Pro Cards but both placed second overall in their respective categories.
Next year, the 51st edition of the prestigious annual showpiece will be hosted in Guyana.
