The newly elected executive of the Antigua and Barbuda Amateur Bodybuilding & Weightlifting Federation (ABABWF) will, within their three-year term, focus on increasing the number of qualified officials within the fraternity.
This is according to president
Hazel Went, who said they must however first raise the necessary funding that would allow them to get the training done.
“That would help us to do some of the other things I want to do, like bringing in judges and improving their knowledge of the sport so that when we have nationals, we have people who are more knowledgeable in order to increase the level, and that is the final goal,” she said.
Bodybuilding VP Kimberly Percival: First challenge is to stage successful nationals
By Neto Baptiste
Newly elected vice president of the Antigua and Barbuda Amateur Bodybuilding & Weightlifting Federation (ABABWF) and bikini fitness pro,
Kimberly Percival, believes the body’s biggest challenging going forward would be the successful hosting of its national championships given the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
“I think our biggest challenge is going to be coming up with a concept that will allow us to host nationals this year within the social distancing protocols but still somehow, raise funds because we want to ensure that the athletes have an opportunity to cross the stage and still give our sponsors mileage, so I think that is going to be one of the main things we need to do in coming up with a game plan and finalise in the next coming months,” she said.
