The highlight of the weekend is anticipated to be the Strongman battle on Sunday October 14 between Guyana and Suriname when defending champion, Surinamese Donovan Dongo will come up against the likes of the multi talented Carlos ‘The Accomplisher’ Petterson in an anticipated fierce shindig as five others inclusive of another Surinamese will also be in contention.
Eight (8) females and six (6) males have signed up for the Scaled segment of the competition, while in the RX (teams of 2 males 1 female) division, a total of five including one from the Dutch speaking nation will be battling for the top prize and bragging rights.
