Bodybuilding to be a major attraction
By SUSAN OREAPE-FARAPO
BODYBUILDING will be one of the major highlights at the PNG Games starting
this weekend in Lae.
Bodybuilding will be holding its annual Mr PNG title as more provinces have
shown interest to strike a pose for the title. Bodybuilding show will be a
two-day event on Nov 21-22.
“I am pleased with the interest shown by the provinces so far, president of
PNG Bodybuilding Federation and tournament director Tamai Tally said.
A strong challenge is expected from the Autonomous Region of Bougainville,
Eastern Highlands, Western Highlands, Morobe pro-vinces and NCD.
The Mr PNG Title was left vacant after David Mugarenang was suspended. There
has been no replacement because Mugarenang has challenged his suspension in
court and a decision is pending.
Strong contenders for the title are Lukas Wemin, Allan Yegiora and Kenny
Cooper from Port Moresby however, Bougainville and Eastern Highlands may put
up good challenges. “Reflecting from our success at the South Pacific Games
in Samoa, it is obvious that we have natural homegrown talents out there and
there is no better opportunity than the PNG Games,” Tally said.
He said PNGBBF will be strict on rules and wants participants to observe the
International Federation of Bodybuilding (IFBB) rules.
