The 2014 Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio is now just one short week away and with the amateur portion of the contest growing every year. Australia will once again have a strong contingency competing.
An unfortunate piece of news has just come through that Roelly Winklaar will supposably not be competing in the 2014 Arnold Classic & Australian Pro Grand Prix in just under 2 weeks time. This is especially disapointing for bodybuilding fans internationally & in Australia as Roelly is in career best form coming off a impressive 7th place finish at the 2013 Mr Olympia.
As if the Pro Qualifier competitors in the 212 Men's Bodybuilding & Bikini classes didn't have enough incentive to win with an IFBB Pro card on the line, they'll also punch their ticket to their second IFBB Pro Show with a free trip to the IFBB New Zealand Pro show the following weekend!
2013 Ms Olympia was the heavy favourite going into the 2014 Arnold Figure International contest, but with an announcement via her facebook fan page that she'll be forced to pull out of the show due to a shoulder injury has opened things right up for competitors like Candice Keene & Heather Dees.
Amanda Doherty last year placed 6th in the 2013 IFBB Australian Pro Grand Prix and was an impressive 2nd out of 6 Australian Pro girls on that stage only being beaten out by Rinnah Schmid.
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Shawn Rhoden, Victor Martinez and Brandon Curry, who have each won an Arnold Classic international title in the past three years, lead a deep field of 13 men’s professional bodybuilders who will battle in the 2014 Arnold Classic, the Arnold Sports Festival announced today.
The Arnold Sports Festival and the IFBB Pro League today announced the invited athletes who will compete in the Arnold Classic, Arnold Classic 212, Fitness International, Figure International and Bikini International contests Feb. 28 & March 1 at the 2014 Arnold Sports Festival.
I wouldn't normally write this in an article, but with FItX 2014 "shit just got real", with the addition of 3 Pro Cards to be awarded over 3 new Pro Qualfying categories. This will double last year's amount of pro cards (3), to make a total of 6 pro cards that will be awarded at the FitX Pro Qualifier in March 2014!
The first annual Perth Fitness Show expo has been and now gone and overall it seemed to be a success. Rx Muscle Australia was there to cover the bodybuilding. The show was held on the same weekend as the INBA nationals which were held in Melbourne so the show lost many competitors to that, but this opened opportunities to other competitors, and many rose to the occasion, especially in the fitness and bikini classes!
PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, October 2, 2013 – The IFBB Professional League, in conjunction with Joe Weider’s Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend, announces the 2014 Olympia Qualification Series, a points-based system that determines qualifiers for all eight Olympia divisions.
The Olympia Qualification Series awards points to competitors placing 2nd to 5th at Pro League events. At the end of the Olympia qualifying season, the five competitors with the highest point totals in the Olympia Qualification Series qualify to compete at the Olympia.
It's been hard getting info back from the IFBB World's and from what we've heard wifi is hard to come by, but that being said we have gotten some news back from the Aussie's competing this weekend in the Ukraine.
