Tatjana Kurilova, Ellen Parik and Ott Kiivikas continue their fall season at the Savickas Sports festival which is the kick off event in October. Tatjana places 6th, Ellen’s showing is worth of 5th place and Ott does what he is used to do – wins his class and moreover places 2nd in the over all comparisons.
On 3th-6th October Mexico hosts the IFBB juniors and masters world championships and also welcomes Estonia’s only athlete Endla Vaher to participate in the event. Endla makes simply a fantastic job, challenges the multi champion but has – this time – a mission impossible against Slovakian Dominika Multanova. Endla places 2nd and receives a silver medal to her massive trophy collection.
In October also…
Nordic Fitness Expo and Nicole Wilkins Championships takes place in Lahti, Finland at 11th-13th October. The first edition of Nicole Wilkins Fitness Championships tempts over 100 body fitness and bikini fitness competitors to battle for the trophies handed by 4 x Figure Olympia herself and for the pro cards. Also Kristina Aleksejeva, Tatjana Kreit, Regina Krugovskaja, Õnnela Raudsepp, Egle Eller-Nabi, Ene Tomingas, Signe Tilk, Heddi Priivits and Aleksandra Laer enter the prejudging stage on Saturday. Unfortunatelly only Kristina and Egle make it to the final round. Tatjana Kreit gets 12th place, Regina Krugovskaja places 13th, Õnnela Raudsepp ends up on 17th place, Ene Tomingas 10th, Signe Tilk 11th and Aleksandra Laer 10th.
In the Saturday evening right before the Nordic Pro show Egle and Kristina are brought to the main stage for the final comparisons. After many many quarter turns Kristina gets awarded with the 6th place and Egle celebrates the victory in up to 168cm class and makes her way to the over all comparisons. Egle’s name is announced as a over all winner, she makes history, becomes first ever Nicole Wilkins Championships bikini over all winner and also first ever Estonian IFBB bikini PRO! She also gets a chance to make her pro debut during the same night and Egle decides to use this chance. Egle proves she belongs in the pro line up and her very first quarter turns as a IFBB pro brings her an amazing 7th place.
Only one week later – from 17th to 20th October – Kristina Nuut, Kristina Koroljak, Endla Vaher, Reet Reimets and Tatjana Kurilova compete at the IFBB women’s world championships. The team represents country with pride and grace: Tatjana Kurilova is the first one left outside of the finals and places 7th and Reet Reimets makes another good appearance at the international stages and takes the 5th place. Enlda Vaher‘s combination of physique and routine is worth of 4th place in tall fitness class. Two silver medals fly to Estonia after the weekend as both Kristina Nuut and Kristina Koroljak are simply phenomenal and take the runner up placements.
On 18th October the grande finale of the national season – 46th Eesti Meistrivoislused and IX Innar Mardo memoriaalil – takes place in Tallin.

Ott Kiivikas has no time to celebrate the nationals title as he heads already on the next day, 19th October, to compete in Vilna, Lithuania. Result – 2nd placement in the over all category!
The last weekend of the month is devoted to annual Czech contest GP Pepa Opava. With some great memories from 2013 Estonia supports the show with 7 competitors who all make a good showing at this international event. Tatjana Kreit’s, Alexandra Laer’s and Peep Reinart‘s journey unfortunately ends before the pose downs but the rest of the crew are still in the mix in TOP 6 comparisons. Esta Pilt earns 3rd place in WPD category and Ott Kiivikas moves up in the ranks compared to 2013 and places 2nd. Kristina Nuut is 4th best bikini athlete of the day and Reet Reimets places 3rd in bikini superfinal.
On 1st November altogether 115 athletes representing 6 different countries meet up at the Nordic Championships hosted by IFBB Iceland to find out who are the very best bodybuilding and fitness athletes in the region of Nordic countries. Already at 9.00 am on Saturday the show kicks off with the prejudging rounds. Also 5 Estonians enter the stage in the morning session. Unfortunately their contest ends here as none of them make it to the finals. Peep Reinart’s final placement is 8th in bodybuilding -80kg class, Esta Pilt takes 7th place in WPD, Siim Savisaar takes 8th place as well in short CBB class, Ene Tomingas gets tied 11th place in her class and Signe Tilk 10th. The only Estonian representing country in the final session is Ott Kiivikas. But do we need more if the result is what it is? As a warm up Ott takes his 5th(?) gold medal at the Nordics and then right after celebrates also his 3rd over all victory. This must be some kind of record, right?
In November also…
IFBB men’s bodybuilding world championships and congress are held in Brazil at 12th-16th November. Like so many years before, Ott Kiivikas is the man taking care of Estonian representation. And like so many years before, he does fantastic job, unfortunately misses the TOP 6 only with 1 point and takes 7th place in BB up to 85kg class.
On 29th of November Egle Eller-Nabi p uts her high heels on to enter the pro stage in Moscow and do her career’s 2nd pro show. Egle meets some top athletes including Bikini Olympia winner Ashley Kaltwasser, looks outstanding and takes 6th place.
In December , while the most are already focusing on Christmas candies, Meelis Susi and Peep Reinart are still on a contest mode and head to La Nucia, Spain to compete at the IFBB CBB world championships. Both have done their homework but this time the opponents are simply too tough. Meelis’ final placement is 11th in up to 168cm class, Peep gets 9th place in up to 171cm class.
The 2014 year with many unforgettable and victorious moments ends with the EKFL gala where the best athletes of the year get awarded.
