 We are here with one of amazing amazing people that are here for an upcoming event happening in Eldoret, kuna event kubu ena hape niya bodybuilders. Shuka mahal ni bodybuilders, ki dobo. Kondani, kondani, kondani angu. So my name is Kevin, my name is Kevin Mwangi, I'm a director at Rolling Total Fitness So I'm here courtesy of the management team of Rupas And I can say I'm delighted to be here to receive one of our famous judges here He's our main judge, so he's here to offer his expertise And make sure he helps us to upgrade our sport, which is now the bodybuilding So this is actually the second season, we had one the previous year And of course we liked his job and that's why we invited him for the second one And if anything, we expect him to be bigger, he also brought a small team You'll probably see them later to help us also do or manage the event much better And make sure that it will be as successful or even more compared to the last year Okay, maybe to someone who doesn't understand exactly what the event is about, you can briefly tell us Okay, so the event itself is just a bodybuilding competition But from the management team it's not just about people showcasing their bodies But it goes deep, it's more about people focusing on health You know, mostly mental health and wellness But I would say it starts by people noticing this sport There is that attraction to that active and healthy lifestyle And then from watching you will admire and you want to look the part And then before you know it you'll also want to embrace that lifestyle And before you know it, once you become fit and engage in eating healthy And being active it helps to improve your mental health as well Okay, who are the participants maybe? So the participants are basically just most of them are bodybuilders, trainers, fitness enthusiasts And they come from across our region, from East Africa Mostly from Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya We have a few from all over because people are still registering And I think by Friday we'll know how many people will turn up for the event to compete Okay, when will the event be happening? So it will be on Saturday, on the 7th, yes this coming Saturday Okay, maybe I would like to know, most of the time when the events are in Kenya Mostly they are hosted in Nairobi but this time around You guys decided to go all the way to Idorat Home of champions Yeah, I would like to know why was that So just like I said the management at Rupas Their hometown is Idorat So instead of having all the events come here We want to go there and also lift their brand And at the same time just like you said it's the home of champions We want also to make sure that it's not just the athletes The marathoners that are winning We also want to make sure you're also bringing up our new talents Okay, Eza Kenyan, what are you looking for? Because you've said there will be various competitors Or participants from various countries in East Africa What are you looking for on the 7th? What I'm looking for is for people to turn up And showcase their best physics And at the same time you want also fans to also show up Support the event, sponsors as well Potential sponsors so that also we work towards improving Not just this year even the next year Make sure that the spots keeps getting bigger Yes, by the years Okay, how can people register? You've talked about people are still registering for the event Yes So if it's registering we've got posters all around And of course they've got details So people are doing online If it's paying for the tickets it's also online Also for the registering it's also online I think someone may want to ask This is a sport of course But building What are other activities that you'll do within that time So that to make this more entusiasm So other activities of course there'll be I think there'll be some artists also performing So there'll be some small I think he's better place to give us the itinerary for the event Yes, but what I can say is that we're expecting Some people like I had CS Hababunamuamba Will also be turning up for the event To also see what is happening on the ground And then he'll know where the government can come in Probably next year Yes You know in sports people have been helped People who go to run People who do others What have they done to support you? The bodybuilding You see I usually say before Somebody steps up to help you You have to be seen to be doing something yourself So last year was like our chance to showcase That bodybuilding is actually a sport Sponsors can also see that they are fans And it's true that now people can pay more attention And at least by getting that attention Now of course the sport will grow Okay, maybe to the judge I'd like to know why is it that he decided To be part of this amazing bodybuilding event For the second time For me it's a pleasure to be here for the second time I'm very happy and glad It's a good experience as Olympia coach last year I've been invited for these great friends I call them friends and brothers As an African I'm very proud What I saw last year I saw a lot of quality A lot of potential And also I decide When they invite me for the second time Because the public really request They really love what we did last year I just come back with a lot of expectations I think that does look great last year We expect over 200 More than 200 atlas last year We have 170 around that We are looking forward for maybe Nearly to 300 atlas And it's going to be fun I'm very excited to see Special the female categories last year We kind of a little bit like short In girls I am very excited to see The female coach Olympia To see more females on stage And I hope the Kenya to show As much quality they have Males and females Maybe next year Maybe we can see Show to the world Ken is capable like some African countries Like Mozambique Angolas be announcing now And we can maybe these guys Can bring the npcifv pro league next year To this country Me as a coach No as a judge And will be very happy And I'm very excited to see What they will bring on Saturday stage We have a good final judges And together with them We're going to do our job And it's going to be great To see how great physics we have in Kenya Maybe what are you looking for To do differently from what you did last year I believe the skills can't be the same No Always look to more improvements I'm very excited to see the previous champions All the guys they play second in third They improve on that body parts And that's what I'm looking for We want to show to the other countries To the world Kenya got a quality For the new sponsors to invest To these Atlas To start to travel around the world To participate in the best leagues in the world This is not official federation This is a natural Like private competition But for Kenyans And for Uganda people Tanzania, all East Africa And the target of these main events Is to make sure they show to the world They capable They got a quality They got a muscle They got a passion For bodybuilding And they can be on the biggest stage In the world And then they can have maybe in Kenya The biggest federation in the world And I can see I would like to show to the big bosses over there Kenya can be on the best league in the world And that's what I'm doing here And it's a big responsibility Like I say last year They surprised me But I think this year is going to be The biggest ever bodybuilding show in East Africa And maybe the future Like I say If they get these And make them together And bring a federation to the country We're going to have Kenya On the top of the African bodybuilding Because they got quality Okay, maybe a quick one We there be winners In every show we expect At the end of the day to get winners Winner?
