T&T's Abeni Pro­cope had two rea­sons to cel­e­brate on Sat­ur­day night as she won ti­tles at the Dar­cy Beck­les In­ter­na­tion­al Fed­er­a­tion Body Build­ing Di­a­mond Cup held at the Lloyd Er­sk­ine San­di­ford Cen­tre, Two Mile Hill, St. Michael, Bar­ba­dos.

Fel­low T&T com­peti­tor, Bren­don Fran­cis was a win­ner in the men's Physique and al­so earned el­i­gi­bil­i­ty for Pro Card sta­tus.

Like Pro­cope, Fran­cis then com­pet­ed in the Elite Pro Di­vi­sion and end­ed a very cred­itable sec­ond spot while fel­low T&T's ath­lete Dex­ter Si­mon was not among the top plac­ings.

The oth­er T&T chal­lenger to claim vic­to­ry on the night was Fiona Branker in the women's Physique which made her el­i­gi­ble for Pro Card sta­tus while coun­try­women, La­Toya Williams and Za­meena Marisa Khan-Lutch­man were sec­ond and third re­spec­tive­ly.

The oth­er T&T en­trant to earn atop three fin­ish on the evening was Waz­im Mo­hammed, third in the men's Clas­sic Physique while Ak­enke Oliv­er (women's Biki­ni), Ron­dell Paul (men's Physique - 170cm), Therone Jack­son (men's Physique -174cm), Kay­lah Mar­tinez (women's Biki­ni Well­ness), and Stef­fan Kern Brath­waite, 33, re­cent win­ner of the T&T Body Build­ing & Fit­ness Fed­er­a­tion Na­tion­al Ju­nior Body Build­ing & Fit­ness Cham­pi­onship crown all end­ed fourth in their re­spec­tive cat­e­gories.

The event was or­gan­ised by the or­ga­niz­ing com­mit­tee of the IF­BB and Bar­ba­dos Body­build­ing and Fit­ness Fed­er­a­tion in as­so­ci­a­tion with Erin Pro­mo­tions.
