This is a very significant classic contest as it contains some rare footage of the late JYRKI SAVOLAINEN as he wins his Heavyweight Class. He was an 8 times IFBB Mr Australia winner. Sadly Jyrki Savolainen died on the 26th of May, 2005, at the age of 47 in his native Finland, as a result of an auto accident. He was one of Australia’s greatest ever physiques, and was much loved in this country.
