The team was coached by IFBB Pro Vonne Francis and IFBB Pro Elite Damion Daniel, including Coach Victor Williams. Also accompanying the team were Vonne Francis, Victor Williams and President of the Grenada Bodybuilding Weightlifting and Fitness Federation, Cecil Mitchell.<\/p>\n

The Roger Boyce Classic continues to be a key platform for Caribbean athletes to gain international recognition, and Grenada has once again proven that it belongs at the top. With Grenada having earned 2 of the 21 pro cards that were up for grabs at the event, it means the athletes have achieved professional status in the world of competitive bodybuilding under the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) and is now eligible to compete in professional IFBB Pro League shows.<\/p>\n

The Grenada Bodybuilding, Weightlifting and Fitness Federation (GBWFF) thanks all sponsors including the Ministry of Sports, Body Image Fitness Centre, Total Extreme Fitness Centre, Fit for Life Medical Services, Mitchell\u2019s Health and Wellness, Blue Horizons Garden Resort, Grenada Bottling Company, Grenada Trade Centre and Sandals Grenada, including supporters and well-wishers for their unwavering commitment to the development of the sport in Grenada.<\/p>\n
