September 3: Bhutan will be hosting the 8th South Asian Men’s Body Building Championship in June next year. This is the first time for the country to host an international sporting event.

Ten participants each in various categories from the South Asian member countries will be taking part in the championship. Being the host country, Bhutan will have the privilege of having two participants each in various categories. The Championship is classified into 10 weight categories with 55 kilograms as the entry weight.

For now, the Bhutan Body Building and Weight Lifting Federation is yet to select the Bhutanese participants. The selection will be held within this month in order to provide ample time for the selected participants to prepare for the event.
