Fernandes-Anderson, who will be competing in the Women’s Wellness category, in a recent interview said her belief of doing well at the c/ships is because of the level of work she has put in as part of her preparations for the event.
“Preparations have been going great, I have been working hard in the gym as usual and now we are just fine tuning to be ready for the stage,” Fernandes-Anderson disclosed.
Fernandes-Anderson will be appearing for the first time at the CAC level, informing that last year was her first attempt competing in the Bikini division.
“I feel confident that the work that I’ve put in and with the knowledge that I will be bringing my best package to the stage, I look forward for the support of the Guyanese delegation will receive on stage and beyond from the local fans,” she said.
Quizzed on whether she felt the sport is growing locally, Fernandes-Anderson answered in the affirmative, pointing to the three Pro Cards that Guyanese athletes have earned within a short space of time.
“Our athletes have earned three Pro Cards in a short space of time and more and more persons are becoming interested in participating in Body Building be it on the stage or the audience,” she stated.
The countries listed to participate are: Antigua & Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Bonaire, Curacao, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, St. Lucia, Suriname, Trinidad & Tobago, Venezuela, Colombia, Jamaica, St. Maarten (Dutch side), Haiti, Nicaragua, Mexico, Costa Rica and St. Vincent & the Grenadines along with host Guyana.
Meanwhile, some of the sponsors already on board are Fitness Express, Twins Manufacturing, Ministry of Culture, Youth & Sport, National Sports Commission and the Guyana Olympic Association.
