On the distaff side it is also anticipated to be breathtaking with the ladies showing off their qualities in the Miss Flex Night, Miss Flex Night Bikini and Miss Flex Night Best Legs.
Patrons can look forward to a number of newcomers gracing the Cultural Centre stage with their bodies competing for the top accolades and titles in the aforementioned categories.
Apart from seasoned campaigners, reigning Ms. Guyana Alisha Fortune and Ms. Nadina Taharally, all the other females will be making their respective debuts.
Fitness Paradise Gym will be introducing four of them – Chelan Yhap, Stacy Small and Shawnell Warner (all participating in the Bikini and Best Legs), and Marissa Lowden (competing in the Best Legs).

Meanwhile, from the State of Roraima in Brazil, Eluana Sousa, hard and graceful, will be a tough competitor in the Miss Flex Night.
While individual glory will be sought after in the first instance the athletes will also be mindful that the country amassing the most points will win the trophy that is at stake for the best country.
