Director of Sport Steve Ninvalle has joined the local sporting fraternity in mourning the passing of former President of the Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (GBBFF), Donald Sinclair, who died on Thursday evening at the age of 74 after losing his battle to cancer.<\/p>\n

In paying tribute, Ninvalle hailed Sinclair as an innovative and forward-thinking administrator whose leadership helped propel bodybuilding into the upper tier of sports in Guyana during his tenure.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald Sinclair was innovative in his approach to the governance of sport and played a critical role in placing bodybuilding at the forefront of Guyana\u2019s sporting landscape,\u201d Ninvalle said.<\/p>\n

According to the Director of Sport, Sinclair\u2019s vision, organisational structure and unwavering commitment elevated the discipline both locally and regionally, leaving an enduring legacy that will be felt for generations. Ninvalle further noted that Sinclair\u2019s influence extended far beyond bodybuilding, pointing to his willingness to work closely with other sporting disciplines in a personal capacity to help improve on-field performance and strengthen administrative systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
