Kaieteur Sports – The Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (GBBFF) officially launched the 51st Central America and Caribbean (CAC) Fitness and Bodybuilding Championship on Friday at the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) located at Liliendaal.

Notable athletes include Nicholas Albert, who excelled at the 2023 Roger Boyce Classic in Barbados, Emmerson Campbell, who had an outstanding year in 2022, finishing with a silver medal at the CAC Championship, and reigning Mr. Guyana champion Darius Ramsammy, who secured a bronze medal at the 2023 CAC Championship in his second appearance.
The event has already secured Platinum sponsorship from Twins Drug Store and Camille’s Academy, with the Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sports also confirming their support.
