Going pro

Barbados dominated the 2013 Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Bodybuilding and Fitness Championships, winning the overall title and taking a record nine categories.
Among the outstanding individual performers were Saskia Griffith (left), who won bikini fitness in the under 163cm category, and Antoinette Downie (right), who came out on top in the fitness division.
Debutant Maurice Arthur captured the men’s physique in the over 175cm category and, in a first for Barbados, they all received their professional cards.
Here, Griffith, Arthur and Downie show off some of the awards they won in the Dominican Republic.
A total of 230 athletes from 27 countries took part in the 41st edition of the competition.
