Local bodybuilders turn in credible performance in Barbados
Sylvan Gardner
Professional bodybuilder, Sylvan Gardner has turned in yet another credible performance following his participation at Darcy Beckles Bodybuilding Invitational Classic and Figure Girls competition at the Sir Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre, Bridgetown Barbados on Saturday November 20. The local bodybuilder managed to finish 7th from a field of eleven competent competitors.
Gardner’s countryman, Eustace ‘Robocop’ Abrams, also attended the competition and reports are that he also performed credibly, placing sixth from a field of eight competitors. Three other Guyanese bodybuilders, Devon Davis, Rudolph Blackman and Oswin Jones also comprised a part of the local team but were unable to place among the top spots.
Gardner visited Kaieteur Sport to provide details of his trip. He said that the quality of competition was high and he has learnt quite a lot from his participation. The local bodybuilder said that the highlight of the trip was a personal meeting with 9 time Mr. Olympian, Darren Charles.
“That was indeed an inspiring moment where Mr. Charles shared his experiences during his illustrious years in the sport some valuable experiences,” he said.
Activities were sanctioned by the Barbadian Federation and featured three categories, the Open figure (women), Open show (men) and the Darcy Beckles invitational classic.
Meanwhile, Gardner is especially thankful for the support received from the corporate community as well as friends towards offsetting the expenses for his participation at the event. These include the Marketing Executive of Giftland Office Max, Compton Babb, Jamie of Fitness Express, Ryan Shivraj of Buddies and his fellow bodybuilders of Buddies Gym.
