WORLD BODYBUILDING ENCYCLOPEDIA.

1989 CONTEST „U.S.S.R. – USA“.

On March 18, 1989 the International Contest „U.S.S.R. – USA“ (Матчевая встречя «С.С.С.Р. – США») was organized in Leningrad (R.S.F.S.R.). It was the first time when American bodybuilders came to the U.S.S.R.. Until this the U.S.S.R. bodybuiders knew USA bodybuilders only through the magazines. The organizers of the event from the USA side were LOUIS ZWICK and DAVID ZELON. USA expences were covered by LOUIS ZWICK. For this reason LOUIS ZWICK had taken a risky loan from an American bank. USA was represented by a number of I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) bodybuilders: CARLA DUNLAP, DIANA DENNIS, LAURA BEAUDRY, JEAN PAUL GUILLAUME, TROY ZUCCOLOTTO, REX LETTO. Placings of the 1989 Contest „U.S.S.R. – USA“: Winner JEAN PAUL GUILLAUME, second - TROY ZUCCOLOTTO, third – NIKOLAJ GRISANOV (Belorussian SSR). DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS participated at the competition in Leningrad as a guest. Together with LOUIS ZWICK he managed to run away from K.G.B. (Комитет государственной безопасности С.С.С.Р.) agents and make two films about the training of well known U.S.S.R. top bodybuilders VIKTORAS JUCYS and ROLANDAS BUCINSKAS (both Lithuanian SSR). These films were presented on the USA  E.S.P.N. sport television. These films as well as detailed revue about the event is in various languages on Global Page www.wff.lt .

SECOND CONTEST „U.S.S.R. – USA“.

1989 spring competition „U.S.S.R. – USA“ was very successfull. This was the reason to organize one more contest „U.S.S.R. – USA“ in autumn. This time the event was financed by a businessman and a former USA bodybuilder BILLY PAX. The main U.S.S.R. bodybuilders at this contest were GRISANOV NIKOLAJ (Гришанов Николай, Belorussian SSR) and VASIN ALEKSANDR (Васин Александр, R.S.F.S.R.). From the USA side were SHAWN RAY, LIONEL RANGER and MIKE HARRIS. The winner was NIKOLAJ GRISANOV, second LIONEL RANGER and third MIKE HARRIS.

WORLD BODYBUILDING ENCYCLOPEDIA.

1989. I.F.B.B. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, PARIS.

During all bodybuilding history the 1989 I.F.B.B. World Championship was one uncomparibable event. During the years only two International bodybuilding events were of so high level. It was the famous of sexual scandals 2004 I.F.B.B. World Championship in Moscow (Russian Federation) and the 2011 W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) World Championship in Viena (Austria). During the eighties of the last Century the International W.A.B.B.A. (World Amateur Body Building Association) ruling structure was like this: President RENAUT ROBINET and General Secretary AKLI CHABENI. Both mentioned persons together with formal I.F.B.B. Vice President and Creator of the W.A.B.B.A. association (it was created in 1976) SERGE NUBRET were working on the 1989 W.A.B.B.A. World Championship in Paris. That time the sponsors were really very big. Some way the I.F.B.B. President BEN WEIDER invited RENAUT ROBINET to his house in Canada. After this visit RENAUT ROBINET declared that he is leaving W.A.B.B.A. and starts working with the I.F.B.B.. As all preliminary work for the 1989 W.A.B.B.A. World Championship was done RENAUT ROBINET announced that he is organizing the I.F.B.B. World Championship in Paris instead of W.A.B.B.A. now. This action of RENAUT ROBINET made awfull strike on SERGE NUBRET and he never reached the previous W.A.B.B.A. level again. After the 1989 I.F.B.B. World Championship in Paris RENAUT ROBINET got no preferences from BEN WEIDER. So he left I.F.B.B. and never appeared in bodybuilding again and was forgotten for ever. Through the years is evident that no International Bodybuilding Organizations around the World ever made any other bodybuilding  contest which is worth to notice. Nothing to compare.

Those bodybuilders of the Lithuanian SSR who neglected the orders of the Olympic Committee of the Lithuanian SSR (L.T.O.K.) were included to the U.S.S.R. Team and participated at the 1989 I.F.B.B. World Championship in Paris. They were not successfull at the competition as all U.S.S.R. team too.

The Chairmen of the „U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation“ («Федерация культуризма С.С.С.Р.») were angry about Lithuanian aims to get independant I.F.B.B. membership. They did not include the Vice Chairman of the „U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation“ ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS to the U.S.S.R. delegation to go to Paris again.

During the 1989 „U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Championship“ («Чемпионат С.С.С.Р. по культуризму») in Leningrad DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was invited as a Personal Guest of BEN WEIDER to the World Championship in Paris. Their common correspondance went on and BEN WEIDER let DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS take any member of the National Bodybuilding Federation of the Lithusnisn SSR together with him to Paris. Thinking of support about the membership in the I.F.B.B. federation DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS took ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS with him. Both Lithuanians came to France separate from the U.S.S.R. delegation. Later DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS regreted about his decission. During several meetings with the emigrants of the old 1918 Lithuanian Republic ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS behaved rude towards independance of Lithuania.

Delegations of various countries lived in the famous Paris „La Fayette“ hotel. The contest was also organized at a huge „La Fayette“ Palace. Just before the I.F.B.B. World Championship BEN WEIDER invited Lithuanians to his appartments in „La Fayette“ penthouse. The Assistant of BEN WEIDER PAMELA KAGAN (Canada) was also present at the discussion then. The discussion lasted very long. With BEN WEIDER spoke DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS did not knew languages and even did not understand what both were speking about. Finally another assistant of BEN WEIDER RAFAEL SANTONJA entered the room and said that BEN WEIDER is needed down at the contest as the competitions are nearly to finish and it is high time to present award to the Over All World Champion. BEN WEIDER and DSC. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS agreed to go on discussing matters via later correspondance.

The 1989 I.F.B.B. World Championship Category Winners were ACHMED MOHMED (Egypt), VAN VALCOT SMITH (USA), BERNARD SEALY (Barbados) FRANK HILEBRAND (West Germany), JEAN LUC FAVRE (Switzerland).

There was a banquet in „La Fayette“ after the competition. BEN WEIDER sat DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS close to him and presented him to the Heads of the delegations of various countries. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS got many new International contacts. Being drunk at the banquet ROMANAS KALINAUSKAS decided to „fight for Lithuanian Independance“ and quarreled with Vice Chairman of the „U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Fdereation“ VLADIMIR DUBININ (Владимир Дубинин). He accused VLADIMIR DUBININ about not taking him to I.F.B.B. Events in Australia (1988) and France (1989). It was DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS to stop the fighting. Details on the 1989 I.F.B.B. World Championship You can find in various languages on Global Site  www.wff.lt .

CONTEMPORARY FEDERATIONS. WHAT IS IT?

Lots of bodybuilding federations today fool athletes and international sport society. It seems that athletes do not think at all. We will try to explain the essence and make clever people start thinking.

Try to get the answers:

- What is bodybuilding sport today?

- Why there are so many federations?

- What is an International federation?

- What are strategic aims of any federation?

Soon our analytical article will give answers to these questions. Follow International Page www.wff.lt

ANALYSING TOPIC WE START WITH I.F.B.B..

During the years there were lots of tales told about I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders). Still many people believe those tales... During the last thirty years we were writing about the I.F.B.B. many times. Now working on the „World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia“ («Энциклопедия всемирного культуризма») we will discuss the I.F.B.B. again. There were many discussions about ther I.F.B.B. before. The image of I.F.B.B. was finally ruined after the second split of the I.F.B.B. in 2008 - 2009 (third I.F.B.B. split happened in 2015 - 2016). Then a fierce war started between the new I.F.B.B. President RAFAEL SANTONJA (Spain) on the one side and the I.F.B.B. lower and financist ALEX BAUER (Austria) and PAUL CHUA (Singapore) on the other side. There was a court trial in London (UK) which RAFAEL SANTONJA lost. You still can see how  I.F.B.B. documents show it‘s pompastic low image. The tales were finally stopped when the I.F.B.B. Vice President PAUL CHUA sent to the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World  Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS nearly 600 I.F.B.B. documents (over 2 000 pages totally) and asked to publish them on our International Page www.wff.lt . It was done then. Now basing on the I.F.B.B. documents slowly step by step we will cover I.F.B.B. topic again.

CONTEMPORARY FEDERATIONS. WHAT IS IT?

I.F.B.B. ENTERS G.A.I.S.F..

Formalities done at the 1970 Belgrade Congress opened doors for the new I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) sport federation to enter G.A.I.S.F. (General Association of International Sports Federations). As after Belgrade Congress the owner of the I.F.B.B. commercial company and the „I.F.B.B. life President“ BEN WEIDER told „it was done due to the efforts of OSCAR STATE“. „OSCAR STATE, who was instrumental in the I.F.B.B.’s recognition in 1971 by the General Association of International Sports Federations, G.A.I.S.F.”. In 1971 during the second I.F.B.B. Congress in Paris (France) public was informed about the I.F.B.B. membership in the G.A.I.S.F.. It happened at the 1971 G.A.I.S.F. Congress in Viena (Austria). Today is evident – it was the basic happening that for the next several decades changed the face of the official World‘s bodybuilding sport. I.F.B.B. left totally behind all other International Bodybuilding Organizations.

According the G.A.I.S.F. rules one kind of sport can be represented only by one International federation. All other International Bodybuilding Organizations lost their chances to represent official bodybuilding sport at International level as well as on the National too.  The official doors were closed for A.A.U. (Amateur Athletes Union), N.A.B.B.A. (National Amateur Body Building Association), W.B.B.G. (World Body Building Guild) and other units. It was a tragedy for all of them.

All were waithig World‘s main bodybuilding leader BOB HOFFMAN to protest and somehow stop I.F.B.B. membership in G.A.I.S.F.. And when BOB HOFFMAN did nothing OSCAR NEIDENSTAM said „it was a terrible mistake..“. Step by step I.F.B.B. got recognition and pushed away all other bodybuilding organizations from official sport.

Ideologies of BOB HOFFMAN and BEN WEIDER were the same. It was their presonal ego, sport and business together.  BEN WEIDER was more energetic and this was the reason he was over BOB HOFFMAN. As OSCAR HEIDENSTAM said „BEN WEIDER was more agressive in publishing and selling magazines“.  BOB HOFFMAN was also unhappy. He said: “Weiders who for many years had been “publishing pornographic magazines” were only interested in money... they want to use G.A.I.S.F. for their business”.  Fifty years being on top of World’s bodybuilding BOB HOFFMAN had to step away.

The article will be continued. We will speak about all World‘s traditional federations. It will be the truth which not everybody like. More information in various languages is on Global Site www.wff.lt
