Pleasant interaction as World renowned bodybuilder, Hugh Ross, hosts interactive night
It isn’t often that Guyanese can ‘chuck’ a chest in the air and proudly hail local stalwarts.
Mr. Ross (3rd right) smiles broadly while posing with members of the weightlifting and bodybuilding fraternity.
Indeed, there have been quite a few, most notably in the boxing arena when Andrew ‘Sixhead’ Lewis distinguished himself among his peers several years ago with a knockout victory over James Page that earned him the WBA welterweight belt.
During this time, Hugh Arlington Ross, a local bodybuilder of world renown was practicing his trade and procuring prestigious honours for Guyana.
Among his many accolades is the coveted 2010 Mr. Universe Masters title which he claimed in London, England, out-posing a field of 33 competitors. There were many more titles but despite his meritorious feats, Mr. Ross lived modestly and is regarded as a ‘people’s person.’
Last Saturday evening, Ross acted as host to dozens of his colleagues and specially invited guests at a reception at the OMG, Sheriff Street, Campbellville. The occasion was graced by several notable members of the weightlifting and bodybuilding fraternity. Guests were met and greeted at the door by Ross whose charming personality brightened the forum.
It was indeed a pleasant evening and most of the attendees felt honoured to be in the presence of such a notable sports personality who ensured that his presence did not dwarf his guests.
