2024 CAC Body Building & Fitness Championships

Despite turning in an impressive overall performance in last year’s Central American & Caribbean (CAC) Body Building & Fitness Championships, the Guyanese contingent who will be on show at the 2024 edition at the National Cultural Center, is aiming for even greater heights this time around with national pride at stake.

Set for October 19-20, the competition will attract over 250 participants from 20 countries as they battle each other for supremacy. Thus far the overwhelming feedback from the local contingent is that they are going all out in their hunt for medals on home soil.

Three such athletes are Christina Ramsammy, Julio Sinclair and Yusuf Khan, who have all signalled their ambitions on upstaging their regional rivals. Ramsammy, who will be competing in the Bikini category, said that even though she was sidelined from training for almost two and a half months due to a back injury, she has returned to the gym and feels great to be back. “I had a rough start after injuring my back, but despite that I was able to get back on track and working hard in trying to surpass my last showing,” Ramsammy revealed.
