IFBB introduces the preshow favorites in BB and CBB;
ARNOLD CLASSIC EUROPE WILL START ON FRIDAY!
GREAT STARS COMING TO MADRIDby Andrew Michalak
The biggest IFBB amateur contest with nearly 700 athletes will start on Friday. National Teams will come on Thursday – the day of official registration of all athletes. Many top international stars are coming to Madrid this year. They will fight for trophies in nearly 40 official categories. The biggest ones are: men’s bodybuilding, included 7 categories, from 70 kg up to over 100 kg and women’s bikini fitness, from 160 cm class up to over 172 cm class. I will present here some of the top champions but in physique sports we can always expect new challengers who can surprise the stars, the judges and the viewers. This a very exciting feature of our sports and people love it. What have already surprised me: big national teams from Philippine, Portugal and Greece – countries not so active in the IFBB during the recent years. Smaller teams from South America (now they have their own “Arnold” in Rio), but very strong set of bodybuilders from Venezuela. The biggest teams from Russia, Italy and Germany, not mention Spain (nearly 200 athletes) as they will come directly to the registration.
Let’s have a closer look whom we can expect in men’s bodybuilding and men’s classic bodybuilding.
Men’s bodybuilding:
70 kg category will be dominated by Italian bodybuilders by number of athletes (5). Among them former world champion Corrado Maggiore. The next great star comes from Brazil – multi world champion Jose Carlos Santos. Then Nelson Totanes from Philippines (3rd place at the 2012 Amateur Olympia) and Juan Jose Bustamante from Peru.

Men’s Classic Bodybuilding:
Up to 175 cm category: Arnold America and Arnold Europe winner Mariusz Balazinski (Poland), 2011 World Championships runner-up Alexander Barbashin (Russia), Mouhamad Ali (Denmark), top three from the 2013 Eastern European Cup: Viktor Simkin, Sergey Kireev and Vitaly Valeev (Russia), 2013 Arnold North America finalist Giorgio Levaggi (Italy)
…Mariusz Balazinski (Poland) tuli 2011 novembris Eestis toimunud klassikalise kulturismi MM-il minu kategoorias alguses neljandaks ja siis võeti dopingukontrollis maha ning sai 2 aastat võistluskeeldu. 2 aastat ei ole 1 aasta ja 11 kuud! See mees on kindel, keda ma tean et karistust kannab, aga ilmselt on selles nimekirjas veel mehi, kes peaksid olema paar aastat IFBB võistlustest eemal.
