Strong Man Showdown
posted (April 18, 2016)
Over the Weekend the Belize Body Building Federation held its 5th annual Strongmen's competition. It has become a popular challenge and showcase which body builders and weight lifting enthusiasts train for year round. This year's competition had the participation of 13 competitors- 11 males and 2 females. Our cameras were out at BTL park on Sunday to catch all the action, all the trials, all the failures and all the successes of these heavy weight lifters as they went into "Beast Mode."

It was a very competitive event but in the end only one could be named the strongest man and the strongest woman. In the males category the gold went to Oyinkro Akobodor, known as "Power," snapping Victor Valencia's 3 year winning streak. Valencia was second this year, followed behind by James Jones in third place. In the females category Cricel Castillo came out on top followed by Chyna Alvarez. Castillo was also the only woman who participated in all male events.
