2011 WORLD MEN’S CLASSIC BODYBUILDING CHAMPIONSHIPS PREVIEW

by Andrew Michalak

This weekend all eyes of the bodybuilding world will be on Tallinn, Estonia, where the 2011 World Classic Bodybuilding Championships and IFBB World Cup will be held. The upcoming Championships will be a record breaker, with 79 athletes nominated by National Federations in classic bodybuilding, 29 to the IFBB World Cup and 13 to demonstrate a new sport concept: athletic fitness.
Altogether, over 120 competitors from 34 countries will take part, with the biggest teams from Estonia, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Poland and Norway.
The Championships will take place in the very modern Nokia Concert Hall theatre, constructed in 2008, with auditorium for 1830 viewers and high-quality, up-to-date sound and light systems. You may see it on the virtual tour at: http://www.tallinnco…uaal/index.html
It will be a perfect place for displaying of the body beauty of the top physique sports athletes of the world!
– Semifinals will start November 19 (Saturday) at 10:00 (morning session) and 15:00 (afternoon session);
– Finals: November 20 (Sunday) at 15:00.

Looking at the list of nominated athletes, we can have an impression that classic bodybuilding has been expanding to the entire world nowadays. Beside Europe, there are athletes from Australia, Canada, Gambia, South Africa, Korea, Japan, Iran, Jordan, Morocco – five continents. Only South America will not be present this time but classic bodybuilding has also been growing there, having 20 athletes from 7 countries at their recent continental championships in Caracas, Venezuela and they were widely present at the 2011 Arnold America, with Jesus Britos (Paraguay) as the 171 cm category winner. There are so many top IFBB events in Asia and Europe this autumn that it is a hard financial challenge to the National Federations from America to participate in all of them. They will have their great festivity next year when the 2012 Men’s Worlds will be hosted by the Ecuadorian city of Guayaquil.
And now the actors of the 2011 Classic Bodybuilding Worlds and IFBB World Cup: the athletes:
