Kenya's top-ranked woman bodybuilder Evelyn Okinyi is gearing up to take on Africa's best at the upcoming Africa bodybuilding Championships in Angola.
Okinyi, the reigning Arnold Classic South Africa overall Wellness 2019 champion, has been training intensively in Nairobi ahead of the championships, which will be held on August 16-17.
According to Kenya Body Building Federation Chairman Chris Omedo, Okinyi will be among the top contenders at the championships, which will feature a range of categories including men's bodybuilding, classic physique, and bikini fitness.
As Okinyi prepares to take on the best of Africa, Omedo has also emphasized the importance of fair competition and the need to eliminate doping from the sport.
“There is no short-cut in body building and any other sports. You must train hard and win clean and not through performance enhancing banned substances,” Omedo said.
Okinyi's impressive track record and dedication to her craft make her a strong contender for the top spot at the championships.
