Pinoy bodybuilder wins best 'Body Over 50' in Greek tilt

Dio, who is listed as “Renato Celestra” in the NAC website, was first out of six finalists in his class, but was not able to nab a spot in the “Overall Winners” list of the competition.

In an interview with ABS-CBN, Dio said, “Nakangiti lang ako sa labas pero sa loob gusto ko umiyak sa saya.” (“I was smiling on the outside, but inside I wanted to cry for joy.”)

The former Mr. Universe of the Philippines and 1991 Southeast Asian Games medalist bested top six placers Frenchman Francois Gaurin, German Bernhard Klemmer, Romanian Cristian Mihailescu, Russian Dmitry Zolin and Bulgarian Dimitar Yovichin in the June 7 competition.
