2009 NABBA World Championships: Men – Show

This year the NABBA World Championships was held at the STEEL ARENA on June 13th, in the historic Slovakian city of Kosice. See all 7 Men’s classes from JUNIORS to MASTERS OVER 40 & 50 and the 4 OPEN classes. We witnessed  an incredible standard, with amazing quality in each class. The show enjoyed the biggest audience ever seen at a NABBA contest – almost 3000 fans. It was a real bonanza of hard core muscle showcasing the best amateur bodybuilders from around the world.

In this EVENING SHOW DVD you will see the complete posing routines of the top 6 finalists in all classes, plus posedowns and awards including the Overall Posedown between the 4 class winners at the end of the show. See the Slovakian star VLADIMIR FLIMEL take the title of Overall NABBA Mr. World for 2009.

WAYNE’S HARD NEWS REPORT on this contest. It also includes the complete RESULTS for Men and Women. This was the last time we used our much loved Sony DXC D30 PAL broadcast 2/3″ camera. It did a fantastic job at hundreds of contests for me over many years.

COMMENTS ON THE EXTRA SCENES

The DVD contains the most comprehensive selection of EXTRA SCENES we have ever offered from an international contest. 30 minutes of them! The promoter Arpad Mester turned on a night of pure entertainment that was simply incredible.

This time the extra scenes include a different slant in the extensive PHOTO GALLERY. Apart from the usual bodybuilding pictures from front of stage, we include Wayne’s peek behind the scenes during set-up, plus other interesting informal photos in and around the contest.
You will also see some amazing acts and entertainment such as Roman Volák – World Karate Champion in a solo and duo virtuoso performance.
Slovakian Folk Dancing which adds to the local flavour of the event. Plus a local rock group to warm up the huge crowd.

Of special note was the incredible LASER LIGHT SHOW that told the story of the NABBA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, from Worlds year one back in 1984 in Serbia (then called Yugoslavia,) to the present 2009 event in Slovakia.
Plus the Parade of Nations representing the various countries at the event.
