Mr. Belize, Rigo Vellos, easily defended his 2012 title as Mr. Physique when the 13th Annual Tipsy Tuna Easter Fest got going on Sunday afternoon in Placencia.
The event, which is sanctioned by the Belize Body Building and Fitness Federation, saw the participation of six competitors that also included former Mr. Belize Deon Danderson. After posing for the official judges and getting the crowd excited with some on-stage competitive poses, the judges shortlisted to two competitors, the current and former Mr. Belize.
The final call placed Rigo at the top.
The next official body building federation event is the Strong Man contest followed by the Mr. Belize competition.
The BELIZE TIMES has learnt that Mr. Belize is preparing for an international body building competition, the 2013 Hercules Olympia to be held at the United Kingdom in May. Rigo is currently seeking financial support to be able to participate in the event. Anyone interested in supporting can contact the Federation at 622-8023.
