SHOP n Save Supermarket held a significant press conference yesterday to announce their sponsorship of Fiji’s promising bodybuilding talent, Jordan Pillay. This partnership highlights an exciting phase in Pillay’s career as he prepares for the prestigious Samson Showdown taking place in Las Vegas on March 29.

The Samson Showdown serves as a national qualifier for the International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB) Pro Card, where Pillay’s goal is to secure a top-three finish to guarantee his spot at the USA Nationals scheduled for December. Throughout this journey, Tyrone Bucknell, a representative from Shop n Save, underscored the supermarket’s pride in supporting Pillay, stating, “We are proud to introduce our partner, Fiji International Bodybuilding athlete, Jordan Pillay. He embodies our commitment to promoting health and wellness here in Fiji.”

Pillay will embark on a focused 12-week preparation phase during which he will work closely with his coach. This intensive training period aims to refine his skills and provide him with invaluable insights as he gears up for the competition, a unique opportunity that Pillay’s wife, Jamie Lee Mitchell, eagerly highlighted.

The support Pillay is receiving from Shop n Save is reflective of a broader dedication to nurturing local athletes, indicating the growing recognition of Fijian sports talent on an international level. This sponsorship could serve not only as a significant boost for Pillay but also as inspiration for future athletes in Fiji to pursue their aspirations on the global stage.

In conclusion, as Jordan Pillay gears up for this upcoming competition, there is much hope for a positive outcome that could pave the way for more Fijian athletes to shine internationally. The partnership between Pillay and Shop n Save is a testament to the potential that lies within Fiji’s athletic community, fostering dreams of success in various sporting disciplines.
