All set for Stage of Champions Elite Pro Qualifier this weekend

All systems are in place for the grand Stage of Champions Elite Pro Qualifier 2025 on Saturday (June 7) at the National Cultural Centre from 19:00h.

The sixth annual bodybuilding showpiece, put on by the Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation and dubbed the One Guyana Stage of Champions, has received the unflinching support of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and the National Sports Commission.

“The ongoing financial and non-financial support of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and the National Sports Commission must be highly applauded and commended,” the organisers highlighted.

Videsh Sookram of the organising committee said: “Plans are on stream for what we are considering the biggest show here. It’s big because it’s the first time we will be able to hand out pro-cards here and with those cards come big money for athletes.”

He added: “We recently got certified by the International Bodybuilding Federation (IBF) with the winners of the Stage of Champions Bodybuilding, Men’s Physique and Bikini categories expected to collect Pro Cards.”

The overall winner of the bodybuilding segment will collect G$600,000, with G$300,000 for the Men’s Physique and Ms. Bikini winners.

A new addition this year, according to the promotor, is the children’s bodybuilding competition, powered by Camille’s Institute.

The event has received tremendous corporate backing
