US-based Guyanese bodybuilder, Hugh Ross, has won the Mr. Universe title in his category (Master Over-40) on Saturday in England.
Ross on his Facebook page confirmed this historic achievement. He stated, “Family, friends, fans, all! I gather you have been hearing it through the grapevine so let me now confirm. I am now Mr Universe. Won my category last Saturday night in Southport, UK…”
He continued, by informing that he was enjoying the sights in Europe before returning to New York, “Left there shortly after (the competition) to enjoy some sights Parris & now in Brussels. Next will be Amsterdam before returning to NY. Contest photos will be posted upon my return. Once again, my sincere gratitude for your continued support.”
Ross’ feat is historic for Guyana and him, being the first time that a Guyanese has won the coveted Mr. Universe title in any category. Known for his extremely serious training regimen, the former Guyana Defence Force Special Forces Captain was always on the cusp of big time success. He had previously taken the Musclemania title in the Masters category in 2004 among others and it was only a matter of time for him to add more impressive accolades to his bulging collection.
Kaieteur Sport joins all Guyana in offering heart felt congratulations to Hugh Ross on his outstanding achievement.
