Attendees and spectators were kept entertained as the competitors flexed their muscles to see who would claim the title as Garden Route's top bodybuilders.

Oudtshoorn's Gino Nortje Williams kept the flag flying high as the youngest competitor at the age of 16, taking second place in the novice men under 80kg category.

A very special competitor, Byron Wodeya, from Uganda took part in the challenge after seeing the event details online. He won the overall men's bodybuilding category and open classic bodybuilding.

He was selected to compete at the European Classic in the United Kingdom, taking place on 11 June.

"The turnout was absolutely amazing. This year's contestants brought out their best A-game to the competition and didn't give up. We look forward to next year's event, but for now, keep your eyes open for information about our coming promotions and events," says Garden Route Casino marketing manager, Karen Johnstone.
