MVP Sports, the athletic footwear and apparel store located at Giftland Mall, has thrown its support behind its two brand ambassadors – Delice Adonis and Dillon Mahadeo – once again.
Last year, the store supported the elite Guyanese duo on their maiden quest to the Reebok CrossFit Games in Madison, Wisconsin, the first time Guyana was represented at the prestigious games.
MVP Sports is now outfitting Adonis and Mahadeo in Under Armour and Nike apparel for the sixth annual Kares Caribbean Fitness Challenge on Sunday (February 9) at the National Park.
The Management of the sports store is backing the duo to come good and emerge victorious in their respective category, as they come up against a field of seasoned local and Caribbean competitors.
