BODYBUILDING NEWS - Bodybuilders from the Mossel Bay area excelled in the Garden Route Casino Classic on Saturday 10 June. Athletes from Mossel Bay, Hartenbos, Great Brak and Glentana were in the top three in various categories.
Gladwin Morgan from George came first in the Men’s Bodybuilding under 70kg and was invited to participate in this division in the SA Championships. He also took the title of Overall Model and second place in the Classic Bodybuilding section.
The well-established annual contest which always draws a large audience with the casino's Bravo Lounge venue packed, is aimed at novice as well as experienced athletes. It is organised by Johan du Toit and his wife Deseray from George.
Johan is a full-time personal trainer, with his own training facility, and a part-time pharmacist. He has been organising bodybuilding shows in the Garden Route area since 2008.
This year's competition drew athletes from the Garden Route, Cape Town, Eastern Cape and other outlying areas.
The judging was done by a Physical Culture Association (PCA) panel from Cape Town under the guidance of Kevin Schwartz, president of PCA South Africa.
The athletes competed in 18 different categories and the winners of the categories had a chance to compete for the titles of Overall Men’s Model, Overall Ladies' Bikini and Overall Men’s Bodybuilding - relevant to the categories of their entry.
