Grenada witnessed an unforgettable celebration of power, athleticism, and community spirit as the Grenada Olympia Glory Games 2025 took centre stage on Saturday, 13 December at the Morne Rouge Playing Field.
The event marked a major milestone for strength sports in Grenada, showcasing newly constructed, state-of-the-art strongman equipment, including 2 professional vehicle deadlift apparatuses engineered and built locally by Moorsafe Group Ltd.
This year’s games brought together elite strongmen and strongwomen competing for national titles across multiple divisions. International participation further heightened the level of competition, with athletes from Trinidad and Tobago joining the challenge and adding a strong regional dimension to the event.
Spectators were also treated to 2 signature physique segments — the Men’s Beach Body Competition and the Women’s Bikini Showdown — each highlighting exceptional discipline, confidence, and athletic presentation.
