ST GEORGE'S, Grenada (CMC) - Barbados emphatically outmuscled their rivals and emerged champions at the 37th Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Bodybuilding and Fitness Championships on Saturday night.

The Barbadians, also belatedly awarded the 2008 title after a statistical error, picked up six divisional titles en route to their triumph, and added the Mr CAC bodybuilding title through light heavyweight champion Martinus Durrant, and Renee Cobham's Miss Fitness CAC crown.

Trinidad and Tobago's Candice Carr-Archer was declared overall female winner after copping the women's masters' category.

Durrant and welterweight Hoskin Worrell won their categories and helped spur Barbados to 208 points, convincing 71-point victors over their closest rivals Trinidad and Tobago (137).

Former champions, Bahamas, placed third after tallying 115 points.

Cobham landed the Open Women's Fitness crown over Nicole Carter in a Barbados one-two finish.

The triumph triggered huge celebration for the Barbadians, who had won the championships in the Bahamas last year but were only officially declared winners here at the general assembly.
