Prague Pro & Bikini Am Olympia 2012

[AnneP 166]

At first Prague was supposed to host the 2012 Masters Olympia. Well, that show was instead recently moved to Miami. Promoter of the event Eva Sukupova did not gave up though but decided to put on a show called EVL's Prague Pro. The show will be held in the end of October, on 26th - 27th and it will offer the European athletes another good chance to compete here "home". In addition, being held for the first time, Bikini Amateur Olympia will take place there too.

For the official information, please visit the website of the event - http://www.evlspraguepro.com/

The IFBB is returning to the Czech Republic this fall when the EVL’s Prague Pro Bodybuilding and Bikini Championships come to Prague on October 26-27.

Nearly $200,000 in prize money will be awarded at the event.

Named after promoter Eva Sukupova, a former IFBB Pro bodybuilder, the EVL’s Prague Pro will be the IFBB’s first event in the Czech Republic in 14 years. The event will feature IFBB Men’s Bodybuilding, 212 Men’s Bodybuilding and Pro Bikini, in addition to the first-ever Amateur Bikini Olympia, the overall winner will turn pro.

Sukupova, a three-time winner of the World Championships, participated in seven Ms. Olympia competitions during her pro bodybuilding career. She retired from competitive bodybuilding at the 1998 Ms. Olympia held in her hometown of Prague.

“I have bodybuilding deep in my heart; I always have and always will,” Sukupova said. “To bring an IFBB Pro contest back to Czech after 14 years means a lot to me and more importantly to the bodybuilding community. We are ready and proud to host what we know will be one of the best pro events on this planet and to hold the veryfirst Amateur Bikini Olympia in our city.”

IFBB previews the first ever Bikini Amateur Olympia;

UPCOMING WEEKEND: FIRST AMATEUR BIKINI OLYMPIA !

by Andrew Michalak

This is something new, something very interesting, something very popular. The concept was born 2 years ago at one of the EBFF meetings. A series of amateur Olympias has started a year ago with Amateur Mr. Olympia in London, UK. Now, the organizers of the EVL’s Pro in Prague, Czech Republic, proposed to extend this idea and include the Amateur Bikini Olympia in the IFBB Calendar of Events. IFBB President Dr. Rafael Santonja accepted this proposal, so next weekend in Prague, in conjunction with the EVL’s Prague Pro, the first Amateur Bikini Olympia will be held.

This will be the third most important IFBB amateur bikini fitness event this season, after the World Championships and Arnold Classic Europe. The girls had two weeks break from Arnolds in Madrid to relax a bit and prepare the next peak of body conditioning. The list of 44 nominated athletes includes many top names but also some new names as this category is the youngest in the IFBB and still a wide stream of new competitors are coming, even at this top sport level.

The battle will be run in three body height categories:

Main pretenders to the top places? In this sport big changes in the classification can be expected from contest to contest but the most successful athletes till now are:

In the 163 cm category: 3^rd place winner at the 2012 European and Arnold Europe Championships Heather Schofield of the United Kingdom, the Worlds and Arnolds finalist Valeria Ammirato of Germany, the Europeans and Arnolds finalist Inmaculada Gual of Spain, 2012 Europeans runner-up Daria Shevchenko of Ukraine.

In the 168 cm category: two finalists of the recent Women’s Worlds: Liudmila Diachuk (Ukraine) and Denisa Lipovska (Slovakia) plus the Worlds’ top ten Hanna Maliarova (Belarus).

In the over 168 cm category: the latest Arnold Europe overall winner Vladimíra Krasova of the Czech Republic and 2011 Worlds runner-up Jana Majernikova of Slovakia, who placed 5^th at the 2012 Worlds and Arnolds but still has the potential to win any contest. Then, the 2012 Arnold Europe 4^th place winner Martina Abukhlal of Switzerland and 2012 Worlds top ten: Elena Guseva (Ukraine) and Ksenia Ponomareva (Russia).

And the big unknown: girls from Gambia and Nigeria. Will they look like the “Black Gazelle” Khoudiedji Sidibe – bodyfitness European champion from France?

Interesting, that so many top IFBB bikini girls just turned pro and will participate in the Pro Bikini category on the same stage in Prague. Altogether, there will be 14 of them, including: 2011 world champions: Andrea Hertlein (Germany) and Nikola Weiterova (Slovakia), 2012 world champion Anna Virmajoki (Finland), 2012 Arnold Europe overall winner Tanja Canc and 2012 Worlds 3^rd place winner Michelle Brannan (UK). Till now, pro bikini was dominated by the American girls, now Europe is counter-attacking!.

In Men’s Pro bodybuilding the next meet of Shawn Rhoden, who has been collecting titles from all post-Olympia European events: Arnold Classic Europe, British Grand Prix and now… is the main pretender to victory in Prague. Who will try to make this goal difficult to him? Dennis Wolf is back. Bigger and better. Then Toney Freeman, Johnnie Jackson, Robert Piotrkowicz, Roelly Winklaar, Ronny Rockel, Ed Nunn, Michael Kefalianos… This will be a tough, very exciting battle. Prize money: 135 000 USD (in total: 180 000 USD).

To see it live, visit the TipSport Arena in Prague on Saturday, October 27, 2012. Semifinals: 10:00, Finals: 17:00. In the meantime: Expo, armwrestling, zumba, athletic fitness and many more attractions.

Egle, I agree, even though I am not any super-fan of this division, Anna looks stunning (and so do you! )

In the middle in the last call, Justine Monro

[egle eller-nabi 66]

Thank You Anne!

From photos Monro is also good, but Anna is in best shape. It always can be litle different on stage, but id be surprised if she didnt win. Anna has perfect glutes and so tiny waist; also very beautiful.

[lkv 362]

I think Anna's posing (specially the front poses) is the best. I hope she wins.

Oh man, JOJ has some serious thickness in upper body ..

Kefalianos ALWAYS brings it!

Ed Nunn and his figure girl-size-waist ..

Seems like another TOP 6 placing for Robert P here..

Wolfie?

...or Rhoden?

Maybe JOJ?

[Ott Kiivikas 817]

Huvitav järjekrod, just pean silmas Jacksoni võitu, pigem oleks siis seekord Rhodeni ees Wolfi näinud. Jacksoni disprortsioon jalgade ja ülakeha vahel on ikkagi liiga suur.

[Siim Kelner 91]

Roelly on kohutav.

[Archangel 482]

Ei saa jah aru. Roelly on nagu ebasümmeetriline kääbus teiste kõrval. Biits ja rind, õlg veel aga kõik muu on küll nõrk. Kuivus pole hull aga ei jah... Üksi piltidel on selline monstrum, et riputa kasvõi järgmise 10a medalid kaela aga teiste kõrval mitte muhvigi.
