SHOP n Save Supermarket recently held a significant press conference to announce their sponsorship of Jordan Pillay, a rising star in Fijian bodybuilding. This partnership comes at a crucial time as Pillay prepares for the Samson Showdown in Las Vegas, scheduled for March 29. The event serves as a national qualifier for the International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB) Pro Card, where Pillay aims to finish in the top three to secure his spot at the USA Nationals later this year.

Tyrone Bucknell, a representative from Shop n Save, expressed the company’s pride in backing Pillay, emphasizing his commitment to health and fitness. Bucknell stated, “We are proud to introduce our partner, Fiji International Bodybuilding athlete, Jordan Pillay. He embodies our dedication to promoting a healthy lifestyle here in Fiji.”

Pillay’s journey will include a focused 12-week training period with his coach to refine his skills and gain invaluable experience. His wife, Jamie Lee Mitchell, highlighted the significance of this opportunity, stating, “The most exciting part is that we are going 12 weeks prior to the show so that Jordan can work closely with his coach.”

The support from Shop n Save not only boosts Pillay’s personal journey but also reflects the growing recognition and potential of Fijian athletes on the global sports stage. With this collaboration, there is optimism that Pillay can achieve success and inspire many young athletes in Fiji to pursue their dreams in sports.

As we look towards the future, this sponsorship signifies a hopeful milestone for Fijian bodybuilding, encouraging more athletes to shine on international platforms. The partnership between Shop n Save and Jordan Pillay could indeed serve as a catalyst for a new wave of athletic talent to emerge from Fiji, showcasing the nation’s capabilities on a broader stage.
