JANAINA BARBOSA DE MATOS – BRAZIL
Women’s Fitness up to 163 cm
After victories at the Brazilian Nationals and 2010 South American Championships, she debuted at the 2010 Women’s Worlds, finishing in the 8th place, but just a year later she was running a close battle against Melinda Szabo for the world title, finishing in the 2nd position this time. But this progress is the best evidence of her big possibilities. In Columbus there will be a return ”match”: Barbosa vs. Szabo.
GIADA SIMARI – ITALYWomen’s Bodyfitness up to 159 cm
Following 3 years out of medal zone, she has finally found her way to prepare a perfect body condition. Adding her tremendous body frame and overall proportions, she was unbeatable at the Amateur Olympia (won over Raquel Hernandez!) and Arnold Europe, finishing 2nd at the 2011 Arnold America and Women’s Worlds, where she came a bit too dry and defined. Being in shape similar like at Arnold Europe, her dreams may come true…
MAHMOUD EL FADALY – EGYPT
Men’s Bodybuilding up to 80 kg
One of the best Egyptian and world bodybuilder but… with a lack of luck. In the recent few years three times 2nd at the World Championships! I wasn’t surprised that in 2011 in Mumbai he couldn’t stop his tears. Was so closed to the final victory, winning the first round and lost it once again in the finals. Will 2012 be the first year of his victories? He has everything needed to be a winner!
ROMAN CORTUNA JR. – PHILIPPINES
Men’s Bodybuilding up to 80 kg
Most of you haven’t heard about him? You will be greatly surprised, what a fantastic bodybuilder comes to the IFBB! We didn’t know him because he had been tied with the other organization through years, winning several world titles. Now he will debut at the big IFBB international contest. It will be a top exciting event. Attached picture “tells” more.
SERGEY BAZAROV – RUSSIAMen’s Bodybuilding over 100 kg
Russian bodybuilder of the younger generation, 2010 Russian Nationals overall winner and 2010 Men’s Worlds finalist. Beautiful bodylines and balanced muscle development. His problem is not enough big body structure (frame) to compete against the super heavyweight giants. But at the latest Arnold Europe he advanced to the promising 4th position. If finds his way to impress the judges (top hardness and definition?) might be more challenging to the top champions.
MARTIN DE LA CRUZ – PERU
Men’s Bodybuilding up to 75 kg
More experienced bodybuilder from Peru, three-time South American Champion, first in classic bodybuilding, recently moved to bodybuilding up to 75 kg category. Continuously and quickly improving, may take part in the final battle for medals.

OLGA GURYEVA – RUSSIAWomen’s Fitness up to 163 cm
Former continental bodybuilding champion, moved to fitness, won the continental title (2008) and… has been trying to win the world fitness title as well. In 2010 was very closed to reach this goal, finishing 2nd to Diana Monteiro. At 2011 Arnold America also lost to Monteiro, by 1 point only! But now there will be no Monteiro (turned pro), so the doors are open…
MARIE SILMAERI – FINLAND

Carpenter by profession, now runs her “Power Club” gym in Loviisa, Finland. Began to compete in 1999, entering the finals at the European Championships. Returned to the stage in 2009 and still improving took the 2nd position at the 2011 European Masters Championships, losing to Raquel Hernandez only, but ahead of Emi Perez and next 11 competitors.

One of the most gifted Iranian bodybuilders nowadays. In Mumbai in two rounds lost only 1 point to future overall winner Sami Al Haddad! No weak points, rock-hard, nicely separated muscles. His rivals in Columbus will have a problem…

Over 10 years on the international bodybuilding stages and all titles in the collection: European (four times) and world (2003). Then two silver medals at the Men’s Worlds and continental overall title. First time at Arnold Amateur and, for sure, a real candidate for the victory.
