2000 NABBA Mr. Universe: Prejudging

“The Millennium Universe – with a record number of countries represented.”

The Juniors were back again in Southport, with the debut of the brightest young star to be seen for years – Stuart Craig Core; the Masters Division – as good as ever; 4 Men’s Open Classes, and the Professional division.

84 men spread over 7 classes. In this PREJUDGING video you see the symmetry rounds, all the key comparisons, and the posing routines of all the men NOT PLACED IN THE TOP 6.

The Overall Pro-Am Universe was won by EDDY ELLWOOD.  SERGEI OGORODNIKOV of Russia won the Overall Amateur Mr Universe title.

Class 3 was particularly interesting. It later eventuated at the show that RONNY ROCKEL did not win this class. He was in outstanding condition and was beaten by Dutchman HENK-JAN HEYNEN.  Since then Ronny has gone on to compete in the Mr Olympia a number of times, placing 7th in 2009, and has also won the 2006 Australian Pro Grand Prix.
