2001 IFBB AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX

The “Real Deal” does it down-under!

Held in Melbourne Victoria, this was the first Pro contest  held in Australia for many years. For promoter Tony Doherty this was his first ever Australian Pro Grand Prix, an event which is still going strong in 2014.

Cormier’s victory in Australia in 2001 was the 3rd contest victory of the season for the sensational CHRIS CORMIER who was in probably the best condition of his life. Dennis James was in superb shape and also great fun, with his own special brand of magic, pushing Chris all of the way.  It was with out doubt one of the best Pro shows ever seen in Australia.

The DVD includes 29 minutes of key comparisons from the Prejudging, the complete posing routines of all 14 competitors and the exciting posedown and awards. Plus a special presentation to the top Australian competitor Luke Wood. Shot with 2 broadcast cameras, we captured all the action from the best possible angles for shooting bodybuilding contests.

Main sponsor of the event was BALANCE MUSCLE TECHNOLOGY.  Photos by Tina Gallasch.
