Beverage Giants Banks DIH under the Malta Supreme brand yesterday officially announced its continued partnership with organizers of the Hugh Ross Classic Bodybuilding & Fitness Show at Thirst Park, Georgetown.
Present himself to accept and thank Banks DIH for its continued support from the first HRC was Hugh Ross, who recently won the Master’s Over-50 Category at the National Amateur Body Building Association (NABBA) World Championships held in Dublin, Ireland, last June.
While thanking Banks DIH for its sustained commitment to the sport over the years, Ross reminded that this year’s competition is expected to be fierce with the athletes in fine tuning mode ahead of next Saturday’s finale at the National Cultural Centre beginning at 19:00hrs.
Banks DIH’s Media Manager Troy Peters in feature remarks congratulated the HRC and Ross for bringing off another Show, hailing Ross for his recent success on the International stage.
“Today we are here to offer our commitment to the 3rd HRC. Banks DIH has been on board from the inception of this Show and we are pleased to continue our partnership with this event under the Malta Supreme brand.
We will be offering full sponsorship to this event both the Classic and the health walk that is set for this Sunday. We as a company would like to see more Guyanese being involved in more health and wellness.”
Peters also encouraged members of the public to come out on Sunday and be a part of the walk that starts and ends at the National Park commencing at 06:00hrs.
He indicated that each participant would receive a Banks branded tee shirt and will also be refreshed by his company’s products.
Over 30 male athletes will be showcasing their chiseled physiques in the various categories and aiming to out pose each other in winning their respective categories and also seeking to with the overall title to be called the King of the Sport when it comes to the HRC.
Ross explained that in the female category it will not be a bodybuilding contest rather it will be a female figure category.
“The females are not expected to display muscles, they will not be expected to do the eight mandatory poses, rather, what we are looking for is a female who is toned, who displays some form of symmetry which is shape and looks athletic she doesn’t have to be athletic and she must also exude feminism.”
Ross also sought to clear the air on the criteria for the male competitors in being a part of the grand finale. He explained that they would have had to compete at the Sub-Meets that were held in West Demerara and Georgetown.
The Sub-Meets that were scheduled for Berbice and Linden were called off due to inclement weather and those athletes that were scheduled to compete at those two locations were given passage to the finals.
“The other factor in the preliminaries is that we had the opportunity to select the top athletes and they have been the recipients of supplement packages to assist in their final preparations compliments of Fitness Express.”
Banks DIH Brand Manager of Non-Alcoholic Beverages in brief remarks reiterated the sentiments of his colleague Troy Peters while noting that Malta Supreme is the ideal product for such an event pointing out that it contains vitamin B and can be consumed by anyone.
Tickets for the show are already on sale at the National Cultural Centre’s Box Office, Buddy’s Gym, Color’s Boutique and Fitness Planet – Auditorium Front $2500, Auditorium Rear $2000, elsewhere $1000.
In relation to the walk this Sunday, each participant will receive one tee shirt compliments of Banks DIH. Ross said that the Drum Core of Guyana Defense Force will accompany walkers while Curtis Mc Kenzie will take participants through some stretching exercises at the end of the walk. Walking time is 06:00hrs.
