National Federation of Zimbabwe Bodybuilding and Fitness secretary-general Quiet Shangai expressed satisfaction over the spirited performance shown by the athletes.
“It was a successful event in the sense that we managed to fulfil the objective of the show, which is to groom more bodybuilders and also the attendance improved compared to the other years. We used to have 20 to 30 athletes only, but this year, we had 45 bodybuilders who came for the event,” he said
A total of seven categories were contested for — senior men bodybuilding, men’s fitness, men’s physique, women’s fitness model, men’s fitness model, wheelchair men bodybuilding and women fitness development.
