1998 NABBA Mr. Universe: Prejudging
The Men’s Prejudging presents the posing routines of all the non (top 6) finalists, plus Round 3 comparisons and lineups for all 6 classes. They were 4 Amateur, Professional and Masters.
What a Contest! What a piece of Fantastic History at this the 50th year anniversary of the first Mr Universe in 1948! 1998 had it all, with the biggest crowd yet seen at the wonderful ICC in Birmingham!
GMV Productions was proud to be there to capture all the excitement and action with our 2 cameras. The Pump Room is also an absolute highlight for backstage raw muscle action.
It was a repeat victory for Pro Champion – Eddy Ellwood, weighing in at a shredded 285 lbs, as well as for John Citrone (190 lbs) in the Masters Class. And the “Wonder from Down Under” Pina Theodoridis won her second overall Figure Class title. John Citrone holds the record for the most NABBA titles ever won. Julia Abel won the Women’s Physique Class.
