De Leon, Kanhai star at world bodybuilding events

De Leon won the Bikini Class E at the Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic in South Africa, and followed up with the Overall Bikini crown at the event, which was staged in Johannesburg from Friday until Sunday.

This was the second successful feat for De Leon in as many months, as she claimed the Bikini Class E at the Arnold Classic South America in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

On her Instagram page yesterday, De Leon posted, “Johannesburg you have been tremendously wonderful to me....until next time.

Cape Town here I come.” Kanhai, on the other hand, finished second in the Classic Physique and third in the Men’s Physique at the Pittsburgh Championship, which took place at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States on Friday and Saturday.

In the Classic Physique, Kanhai took silver, behind Shane Post, while Robert Shields was third while, in the Men’s Physique, Chauncey Green triumphed, ahead of Antonio Davis and Kanhai.
