Together the team secured five gold medals, six silver medals and one bronze medal. The most at a single CAC Championship by a national team.
Remarkably, Fung used her sharp physique to slice through the athletes in the wellness categories and secured the much coveted ‘Pro card. In doing so, the 22 year old became the second female from Guyana and the first since 1979 to become a professional Bodybuilding athlete.
According to the proud President Bess, the team’s performance was nothing short of exceptional and for every gold medal won, the National Anthem was loudly and proudly played and the beloved Golden Arrow Head was displayed as all stood in respect of Guyana and in honour of the athletes.
