WORLD BODYBUILDING RANKING LIST. BEST AM AND PRO ATHLETES OF THE WORLD.

WORLD BODYBUILDING RANKING LIST. BEST AM  AND PRO ATHLETES OF THE WORLD.

BASIC BACKGROUND.

Being the World‘s Bodybuilding Leader, today the WFF-WBBF (World Body Building Federation, World Fitness Federation) International unites National Organizations from 117 Countries, which represent all Continents. Every year WFF-WBBF International in various Countries holds over 60 International Amateur and Professional Events.

GENERAL ITEMS.

The idea to s tart to undeline Best World‘s Bodybuilders struck us many years ago. Known participating sportsmen get pionts which are added and calculated in the World Bodybuilding Ranking List (RL) year after a year.  Again as it is in our Global Project  of the WORLD BODYBUILDING ENCYCLOPEDIA, starting with the Legendary EUGENE SANDOW the RL covers the period of time of 120 years.

TRADITIONAL CLASSIC INTERNATIONAL BODYBUILDING ORGANIZATIONS.

Again as it is in the WORLD BODYBUILDING ENCYCLOPEDIA, the RL counts only the traditional classic International Bodybuilding Organizations from the year these organizations stated their first official activities: WFF-WBBF (World Body Building Federation, World Fitness Federation, since 1968), NABBA (National Amateur Body Building Association, since 1950), WABBA (World Amateur Body Building Association, since 1976), and IFBB (International Federation of Body Builders, since 1959).

RECOGNIZED CLASSIC TRADITIONAL CONTESTS ONLY.

In the RL we count only RECOGNIZED TRADITIONAL OFFICIAL COMPETITIONS: Amateur and Professional World and Continent Championships and the „Universe“ contest. As an exclusion to the mentioned above we count the results of the famous „Amber Prix International“ as for long time having no other possiblities  due to  political reasons  this contest  served as the World Amateur Championship of the Socialist Countries (see International Internet Site www.wff.lt, read in diferent languages articles and forum topics „International Bodybuilding Organizations“ and „World Bodybuilding History. How it was in real“).

For example, in the WORLD BODYBUILDING ENCYCLOPEDIA  and the RL we wanted to give real respect to a number of famous World Class Bodybuilders but unfortunatelly during all their sport carrieer they participated only at the unofficial commercial shows which are not bodybuilding sport contest in real. What we are to list: „Tampa Pro“, „San Chose“, various „Classics“  etc... What is it looking from the piont of view of the Official Traditional Sport? Ask any Ministry of Sport of any Country and the answer is always the same – it is Nothing valuable. For example, winning lots of various „shows“  a great bodybuilder DENNIS JAMES has never been a Continental or World Champion, not Amateur and  neither Professional. How to characterize him in the World Bodybuilding History? Just to say he won a lot of the competitions that were not Official???

WORLD RANKING LIST POINT SYSTEM.

We evaluate participating Athletes by points: after every participation for the 1-st place the Amateurs get 8 points and the Professionals get 10 points. Then every place down makes one point less.
