The Coast Guard’s Wonder Women
posted (March 18, 2016)
You may recall the Best Warrior Competition held last year November. The event has been organized by the Belize Coast Guard for the past three years to test the endurance of Belize's military men. But not only men stand on the frontlines as military personnel. So, this year, the Coast Guard women decided to put their might to the test. They underwent two days of back breaking challenges in what's called the "Wonder Woman" competition. We were there today as they event wound down and the "Wonder Woman", was chosen from among the 19 female coast guard officers who participated.

The pink team came out as the overall champions of the competition, with yellow coming in second, followed by green and the blue. The organizers say they hope to make the event bigger next year by inviting women in other security agencies or any other group to go up against the women of the Belize Coast Guard.
