GREAT NAMES OF N.A.B.B.A..

WHY N.A.B.B.A. LIES?

During the last time representatives of N.A.B.B.A. (Nationsl Amateur Body Building Association) often proudly mention “Great Names of N.A.B.B.A.”. Among them bodybuilders ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, BILL PEARL, STEVE REEVES, JOHN GRIMEK, SERGE NUBRET and many others. But this is not true - they are not N.A.B.B.A. representatives, they are just competitors of “N.A.B.B.A. Mr. Universe”. All “Great Names of N.A.B.B.A.” are also Great names of A.A.U. (Amateur Athletic Union), F.I.H.C. (Fédération Internationale Haltérophile et Culturiste), I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders), W.A.B.B.A. (World Amateur Body Building Association), W.B.B.G. (World Body Building Guild). JOHN GRIMEK is not connected with N.A.B.B.A. at all. He is competitor of A.A.U. and F.I.H.C..

Athletes can not be “Great Names” of any bodybuilding organization. Only creators, chairmen and organizers are representing organization. N.A.B.B.A. had only one “Great Name” and it is OSCAR HEIDENSTAM - “The Crusader against the I.F.B.B.”. After OSCAR HEIDENSTAM not a single “N.A.B.B.A. Man” did anything noticable for International Sport.

BODYBUILDING CIRCUS AROUND THE WORLD.

LOTS OF MICKEY-MOUSE FEDERATIONS.

WE SPEAK WITH ATHLETES.

Forty years ago we were explaining athletes about official sport and about the BASIC questions of various federations. This is ABC of every athlete. Do not be dreamers and learn real matters. As we see many do not like the truth. Sportsmen waist their time, energy, money. They are glad about their “great” achievements at competitions. But - this result for official sport is ZERO. Find yourselves who is guilty  - maybe your leaders, maybe trainers, maybe somebody else.

STEP ONE. INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION.

We do not want to offend anybody. All of today working forty International bodybuilding federations play zero role in official recognized sport. That are “mickey - mouse” federations. Just ZERO. Official International Sport organizations do not recognize a single one of them. Let us speak about some of those “federations”. What do You know about Your federation? Since 1990 we came inside of many International Bodybuilding Organizations. Step by step we learned about their zero value in sport. Athletes were cheated and still are cheated.

I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders)

Due to efforts of American BOB HOFFMAN (Robert Collins Hoffman, 1898 – 1985) since 1947 until 1969 World’s official bodybuilding sport was ruled by a member of the International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.) International F.I.H.C. (Fédération Internationale Haltérophile et Culturiste) federation.

In 1970 general secretary of F.I.H.C. British OSCAR STATE (Oscar State, Obe, 1911-1984) during Belgrade (Yugoslavia) Congress created the I.F.B.B. sport federation. Until that time I.F.B.B. was a private company and played zero role in official sport. Again due to the efforts of OSCAR STATE in 1971 I.F.B.B. became a member of G.A.I.S.F. (Global Association of International Sports Federations) and ruled World’s official bodybuilding sport until 1998.

In 1998 after two years trial I.F.B.B. was thrown out of the I.O.C.. Since that time bodybuilding is no more sport. Only former Communist Countries and several Asia Countries still recognize and finance National I.F.B.B. federations. Full article about the I.F.B.B. You can find on International Site www.wff.lt

N.A.B.B.A. (National Amateur Body Building Association).

After long correspondence with N.A.B.B.A. Chairman OSCAR HEIDENSTAM we were working with N.A.B.B.A. since 1991 until 2005. After some time N.A.B.B.A. Chairman IVAN DUNBAR informed us that N.A.B.B.A. is not an association of federation - it is by law a public club. How officially registered in Lithuania Republic sport federation can be a member of a public club? Sounds childish… After death of OSCAR HEIDENSTAM in 1991 until now N.A.B.B.A. had no another leader like him. Full article about N.A.B.B.A. is already published on International Site www.wff.lt

W.F.F. (World Fitness Federation).

In 1995 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS, German KLAUS HOFFMANN (Klaus P.J.Hoffmann), Austrian PETER PAPULA, Greek ANARGIROS TSOPOURIDIS came to Germany where they established World Fitness Federation (W.F.F. - International). Power zones were set up - KLAUS HOFFMANN took the leadership on the “Western” countries and DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS went on leading “East” countries. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS  brought former socialist countries in the game. Supported by the Government Republic Lithuania in 1996, 1997, 1998 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS organized European Championships in Klaipeda, Vilnius and Palanga. At that time there was no official registration of the W.F.F. federation - somehow KLAUS HOFFMANN was against it. The situation did not satisfy us. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was closely working with the Ministry of Sport of the Lithuanian Republic. According the law we needed official registration. Virtual W.F.F. was nothing. Then in 1998 DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS registered official W.F.F. federation and organized the 1998 W.F.F. World Championship in Palanga (Lithuanian Republic). The championship was supported and financed by the Government Republic Lithuania. It was televised by “Eurosport” television. Step by step KLAUS HOFFMANN left the W.F.F. federation. In 2003 he told he can not organize International contests any more. Uniting both parts of the federation the full power of W.F.F. went to DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. Exceptional prestige of W.F.F. rose up after tremendous 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 W.F.F. World Championships which were held in Vilnius and Klaipeda (Lithuanian Republic). For example - at 2005 W.F.F. World Championship in Vilnius participated 742 athletes from 42 countries. Lithuania Parliament voted to finance 2008 W.F.F. Event in Klaipeda through the separate line in the Budget of the Republic Lithuania. All above mentioned championships were supported and financed by the Government Republic Lithuania. Seeing great growth of the W.F.F. federation KLAUS HOFFMANN stopped connection with the federation and in 2005 registered his own W.F.F. federation in Germany. This federation was closed in 2013.

GAMES OF GRAEME LANCEFIELD.

Several years ago appeared Australian GRAEME LANCEFIELD who was unknown to the International Sport Society. GRAEME LANCEFIELD used the name of W.F.F., our W.F.F. history (working since 1968, “Amber Prix International”, etc.). When we wrote that we will address the International Court, then GRAEME LANCEFIELD stopped using traditional W.F.F. history. But he uses W.F.F. name anyway. Still it is not clear if W.F.F. of GRAEME LANCEFIELD egzists by law or it is only his private games. Anyway there are many not educated athletes who do not know our sport history and who do not know anything about W.F.F. federation. This way GRAEME LANCEFIELD can play his games. Detailed articles about W.F.F. federation will be published in the third part of the “World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia” soon. Look for the information on International Site www.wff.lt .

N.A.C. (National Athletic Committee)

When in 2000 KLAUS HOFFMANN stopped working properly with W.F.F. federation in Germany, several people left German W.F.F. an then appeared N.A.C.. N.A..C. is National German organization. No official International or National Institutions recognize and support N.A.C.. N.A.C. has nothing to do with official sport. Working more that twenty years N.A.C. did nothing noticeable for our sport. All N.A..C. events were made in Europe only. Outside Europe nobody even heard of N.A..C.. Maybe somebody can say what are aims of N.A.C.??? In 2005 in Italy Chairmen N.A.C. addressed President W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International (World Fitness Federation, World Bodybuilding Federation) DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. They wanted to cooperate activities. DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS refused - there was no future and no sense in that.

N.P.C. (National Physique Committee)

For many decades amateur bodybuilding in USA was ruled by A.A.U. (Amateur Ayhletic Union). Established in 1888 A.A.U. was a member of the International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.). In the USA even a member of G.A.I.S.F. (Global Association of International Sports Federations) I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders), federation could not fight against N.P.C.. Remember, in 1970 F.I.H.C. (Fédération Internationale Haltérophile et Culturiste)  General Secretary OSCAR STATE in Belgrade (Yugoslavia) created the I.F.B.B. sport federation. Until that time I.F.B.B. was a private company. Finally after discussion with I.F.B.B. President BEN WEIDER a member of A.A.U. JIM MANION left A.A.U. and established N.P.C. in 1983. This way N.P.C. escaped of doping control too. JIM MANION agreed with WEIDER brothers JOE and BEN this way - all World Amateur bodybuilding was ruled by I.F.B.B. of BEN WEIDER and Amateur bodybuilding in USA was ruled by N.P.C. of JIM MANION. At the same time N.P.C. was representing I.F.B.B. in USA. Professional bodybuilding was under JOE WEIDER. N.P.C. had been never recognized by any Official International Sport Organization. In 2015 after death of WEIDER brothers previous agreement had no more power and N.P.C. left the I.F.B.B. of Spanish RAFAEL SANTONJA. RAFAEL SANTONJA was thrown out of America and never appeared there any more. Fighting for money at the moment N.P.C. with it’s contests goes aggressively around the World pushing I.F.B.B. of RAFAEL SANTONJA out of the game.

W.A.B.B.A. (World Amateur Body Building Association).

Several years athletes of Lithuanian Republic participated at W.A.B.B.A. competitions. Lithuanians never organized a single W.A.B.B.A.  contest in the country. Collecting 2-3 athletes of other National federations W.A.B.B.A.  organizers used to go abroad to compete. In general there were no results in this activities.

W.A.B.B.A.  appeared in 1976 after in 1975 I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) President BEN WEIDER because of sexual affairs threw away from his federation his Vice President and famous France bodybuilder SERGE NUBRET. Having no knowledge about International Sport requirements SERGE NUBRET registered only name and logo of W.A.B.B.A.. Nothing was serious and official. Our last information of W.A.B.B.A. is that it belongs to a protein shop of French FABIAN DE BECK. In fact in 1975 it was the first time I.F.B.B. was split and divided. SERGE NUBRET took out of I.F.B.B. a number of National Presidents and Athletes from Asia and Africa countries.

OTHER FEDERATIONS

Looking through 100 years history of bodybuilding we can make some conclusions.

During the last century several decades World was divided into Capitalist (Western) and Socialist (Eastern) parts. Both parts were separated by the “Iron Wall” and did not communicate in between anyway. Bodybuilders of both parts did not communicate too. Also have in mind that bodybuilding was prohibited in the Socialist World since 1973 until 1987.

When Socialist World was ruined in 1995 was created World Fitness Federation (W.F.F. - International) which took the leadership of bodybuilding in some Europe and former Socialist countries. Later International fitness and bodybuilding were separated and since that time fitness was ruled by W.F.F. - International and bodybuilding was ruled by the World Body Building Federation (W.B.B.F. - International).

During the last thirty years appeared about forty “International” bodybuilding federations led by ill minded people. For every clever bodybuilder is evident - if one is not afraid of doping control - there is with it’s law and finance problems in 1970 in Belgrade (Yugoslavia) by F.I.H.C.  (Fédération Internationale Haltérophile et Culturiste) General Secretary OSCAR STATE created International Federation of Body Builders (I.F.B.B.); when one do not want doping control - there is old traditional National Amateur Body Building Association (N.A.B.B.A.). Everything is clear as daylight - the three above mentioned organizations rule International bodybuilding and fitness. Why other bodybuilding federations needed? What are their aims? Seems like childrens game... These federations have never been recognized by any Governmental or International Sport Structure. Their work is of zero value. First we met this nonsense forty years ago when two bodybuilders of Estonian SSR went to Italy to participate at “Europe” Championship. After coming back they kept silence. The reason was - there were only several participants from two countries - Italy and Estonia. The organizer was a private person representing no federation. In 2000 - 2005 Lithuanian bodybuilders were participating at the contests of the International federation of homosexual bodybuilders (today bodybuilders of Republic Poland are active in this field). Ok, anyway we can understand organization like this. From time to time we hear about another misunderstanding - the International Federation of “natural bodybuilders”. Natural bodybuilders are like alcoholics without alcohol... Every day primitive bodybuilders are fooled and cheated.

Since 1999 Italians started to participate at International W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. contests. They organized Italian contest for many years and now they wanted to organize official International contests in Italy. We told them how to create official federation. Now they have logo, they have name and still there is no federation. Organizers of this Italian group used to fight in between. So this way for several years another “International” federation appeared in France. After another Italian fight ten years ago one more “International” federation appeared in Slovenia.

Bodybuilders have problems with brains?

Today many idiotic categories appeared at bodybuilding contests - like bikini, wellness... Whom you are fooling? It is women bodybuilding and be smart - it is bad women bodybuilding. You want to say it is fitness? No - fitness is without doping. All activities with doping is bodybuilding. Do not lie for yourself and for other people. Let these “bikinies” and “welness” bodybuilders participate together with a real bodybuilder... Nonsense - they are weak athletes and they have no chances to participate at normal bodybuilding contests successfully. This is the reason that “bikinies” appeared. With men’s bodybuilding situation is the same. For example - lazy bodybuilders do not train legs. For them we have “Men’s Physique” category. Participants are representing bodybuilding and in fact they are bad bodybuilders. No legs, no calves... In normal bodybuilding fight they have no chances... So what is the value of their wins? Nothing... Weak bodybuilders participate at contests of “mickey - mouse” federations and in “mickey - mouse” categories and they become champions. What is the value of their titles? Nothing... Is anybody really proud of this?

World Sport History. Klaipėda Welcomed a European Generation of Fitness and Bodybuilding Athletes.

From May 18 to 20, 2007, Klaipėda hosted the WFF and WBBF European Amateur Championships, bringing together fitness and bodybuilding athletes from numerous European countries. The competition featured a wide range of categories, from Classic Fitness and Athletic Fitness to bodybuilding, as well as dedicated events for juniors and children.

For three days in May 2007, Klaipėda became an international meeting point for athletes representing different generations, countries and disciplines within the rapidly developing world of fitness and bodybuilding.

The 2007 European Amateur Championships, organised by the World Fitness Federation (WFF) and the World Bodybuilding Federation (WBBF), offered a broad competition programme. Separate championships were held for women and men, with categories covering Classic Fitness, Performance, Athletic and Super Athletic divisions, alongside traditional bodybuilding competitions.

The official results provide more than a list of winners. They offer a snapshot of the European fitness and bodybuilding scene of the time – a sporting environment in which athletes from Eastern, Central and Northern Europe competed alongside representatives of countries farther afield.

A championship built around different disciplines

One of the defining features of the event was the variety of disciplines.

Rather than concentrating exclusively on traditional bodybuilding, the programme included several fitness categories designed to highlight different aspects of physical development, athletic ability and stage presentation.

The Women’s Classic Fitness category was one of the largest competitions of the championship. Its final included 24 competitors representing countries including Lithuania, Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Latvia, Belarus, Bulgaria and Hungary. The first three places were taken by athletes representing Lithuania, Ukraine and Russia.

The size and international composition of the category demonstrate how competitive fitness had already become by the middle of the 2000s. Reaching the final meant competing against athletes from a wide range of national sporting backgrounds.

The final ranking also included competitors from Poland, Belarus, Latvia, Bulgaria and Hungary, creating a particularly diverse European field.

An increasingly international fitness scene

The Performance category provided an even broader picture of the championship's international character.

Competitors included athletes from Israel, Lithuania, Poland, Latvia, England, Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus. The title went to Israel's Jelena Frenkel, while Lithuania's Inga Naslėnaitė finished second and Poland's Karolina Strzyżewska took third place.

The category also featured more than twenty athletes in the final results. Such participation indicates that fitness competitions were no longer limited to a small circle of specialists. They had developed into a competitive international discipline attracting athletes from many different countries.

Athletic categories bring together different European schools

The Athletic divisions formed another important part of the women's programme.

The first Athletic category included competitors from Lithuania, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Latvia, Poland and other countries. The second division was particularly strong for Russian athletes: Irina Stavitskaya and Irina Simonova took first and second place respectively. Lithuania's Kristina Serksnaitė finished third, followed by Latvia's Marija Deksne, Poland's Joanna Kwiatkowska and Germany's Anke Babel.

The results also included competitors from Ukraine, Belarus and other European countries. The international composition of these divisions illustrates the increasingly broad reach of the sport across the continent.

The highest-level women's category

The Super Athletic category represented one of the most advanced levels of the women's competition.

Nine athletes from Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Belarus took part. Russia's Tatjana Bojciuk won the title, followed by compatriot Olesia Siomina in second place and Poland's Agata Czerkawska in third. Athletes from Lithuania, Russia and Ukraine also completed the top six.

The results demonstrate the strength of several national fitness traditions, particularly those from Eastern and Central Europe. At the same time, the presence of athletes from several countries made the category a genuinely international contest.

Bodybuilding remains at the heart of the programme

Alongside the fitness divisions, traditional women's bodybuilding remained one of the championship's central competitions.

Ukraine's Maria Akizanova won the title. Russia's Darja Morozova finished second, while Ukraine's Halina Macykur took third. Belarusian athlete Irina Lebedeva finished fourth.

The result reflects the strong presence of Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian athletes on the women's bodybuilding stage at the time. These countries repeatedly appeared among the leading positions throughout the championship.

A broad men's programme

The men's championship was similarly diverse.

Its programme included Wheel-Chair, Junior, Classic Fitness, Performance, Athletic, Super Athletic and bodybuilding categories. The structure allowed athletes with different physical abilities, ages and competitive backgrounds to participate within their respective divisions.

The inclusion of a dedicated Wheel-Chair category was an important feature of the programme. The category was won by Lithuania's Artūras Krutulis.

The Junior Bodybuilding competition for athletes under 21 also demonstrated the organisers' emphasis on developing the next generation of competitors. Lithuania's Mantas Lukošius won the category, ahead of athletes representing Ukraine, Russia, Germany, Russia and Slovakia.

Classic Fitness – a meeting of different traditions

The men's Classic Fitness category provides another particularly clear example of the championship's international character.

Latvia's Viktor Sarko won the title, followed by Lithuania's Vytautas Brazaitis and Russia's Dmitry Krivchikov. The final results also included athletes from Turkey, Belarus, Germany and Moldova, among others.

The category brought together athletes from across the Baltic region and Eastern Europe with competitors from farther south and west. It reflected the growing geographical reach of fitness as a competitive discipline.

Youth competition – starting at an early age

The championship was notable not only for its senior competitions. A separate Fit-Kid European Championship was also held, with competitors divided into age groups.

The youngest athletes competed in an under-eight category. The under-ten division included representatives of Poland, Lithuania and Latvia, while the under-twelve competition featured athletes from Poland, Lithuania and Russia.

In the under-twelve category, Polish athletes took the first two places, followed by a Lithuanian competitor, with additional representatives from Lithuania and Russia appearing in the final results.

The inclusion of children in the European championship programme shows that the organisers viewed the development of the sport as a long-term process. The event was not simply a competition for established athletes; it also provided a platform for younger generations entering the world of fitness.

A map of European fitness in 2007

Taken as a whole, the results of the Klaipėda championship provide an interesting map of the European fitness and bodybuilding scene in 2007.

Names from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Latvia and Lithuania appear repeatedly throughout the results. At the same time, the championship attracted athletes from a much wider geographical area, including Estonia, Germany, Slovakia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Hungary, Moldova, Israel, England, Cyprus, Kazakhstan, Australia and other countries.

The distribution of medals also shows that there was no single dominant nation across every discipline. Different countries produced winners in different categories. Israel claimed the Performance title, Russia was particularly strong in the higher-level women's categories, Ukraine produced winners in bodybuilding, Latvia topped the men's Classic Fitness division, while athletes from several other countries reached the podium.

This variety is perhaps one of the most interesting features of the championship. Instead of presenting a single national hierarchy, the results reveal a competitive landscape in which different sporting traditions excelled in different disciplines.

More than a list of results

Today, the official results of the 2007 European Amateur Championships provide a valuable record of a period when fitness and bodybuilding were developing into increasingly diverse and international sports.

The Klaipėda event brought together several generations of athletes and a wide range of disciplines – from Classic Fitness and Athletic Fitness to traditional bodybuilding, junior competitions and children's Fit-Kid events.

The results also demonstrate the scale of international participation. Athletes from numerous European countries, together with competitors from countries beyond Europe, appeared across the different categories. Their presence turned the championship into a meeting point for different approaches to training, physique development and competitive presentation.

For that reason, the Klaipėda championship is significant not simply because of who won individual titles. It offers a broader picture of the sporting culture of the period – the growing popularity of fitness, the continuing importance of bodybuilding and the emergence of new competitive categories designed for different ages and athletic profiles.

Nearly two decades later, the official results allow us to reconstruct that sporting moment: a European championship in which established athletes, emerging juniors and children shared the same event, while competitors from different countries met on the same stage in Klaipėda.

NIDA TO WELCOME THE WORLD OF SPORT: 37th WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. An exceptional international sporting event will take place in Neringa on October 24–26.

Nida will become an international sports hub. From October 24 to 26, the prestigious “Agila” Cultural Centre in Nida will host the 37th World Championships for amateurs and professionals, the 51st International “World Grand Prix” Tournament, and the 3rd Neringa Mayor’s Cup Championships.

For three days, amateurs and professionals from various countries around the world will compete in Nida.

ALMOST 40 YEARS OF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TRADITION

WFF-WBBF World Championships have been held for almost four decades. Throughout this long history, the championships have faced many challenges, yet the tradition has never been interrupted – competitions were held even during difficult periods, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

Athletes representing all continents have taken part in the championships.

The 2026 event in Neringa will continue this long-standing tradition of international sport.

742 ATHLETES FROM 32 COUNTRIES

One of the most impressive chapters in the history of the championships was 2005, when a record 742 athletes from 32 countries took part in the competition.

That year, the overall champions received exceptional prizes – original valuable diamonds.

The championship was broadcast live on the Internet to audiences around the world. AB “Lietuvos telekomas” supported the live broadcast, providing more than 144,000 Lithuanian litas, equivalent to more than EUR 40,000 at the time.

It was one of the signs that WFF-WBBF international events had already gone far beyond the boundaries of conventional sporting competitions.

THE EVENTS RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM THE LITHUANIAN STATE

The history of WFF-WBBF World Championships also includes significant attention and support from the Lithuanian state.

The 1998, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 World Championships received support from the Lithuanian state budget.

The organizing committees have been chaired by senior Lithuanian public officials, including ministers and even two Prime Ministers.

Lithuanian Ministers of Sport Vytas Nėnius and Algirdas Raslanas attended championship opening ceremonies.

Following several championships, international press conferences were held at the ELTA news agency, while the heads of foreign delegations were received at the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania.

NIDA – AN IMPORTANT DESTINATION ON THE 2026 SPORTS MAP

The 2026 World Championships in Neringa are more than a sporting competition. They represent the continuation of a long-standing international tradition and provide Neringa with another opportunity to become a meeting place for the international sports community.

The organizers hope that this year’s championship will leave a lasting mark both on sports history and on Neringa’s international profile.

Registration for participants is already open.

The full event programme, competition schedule and registration are available at www.worldfitness.lt

A STEP TOWARDS THE 60th “AMBER PRIX”

The Nida championships will also serve as a kind of rehearsal for another major event in 2027 – the 60th International “Amber Prix” Tournament in Klaipėda.

Preparations for this anniversary event began as early as 2025. A unique historical book, to be published in several languages, is planned to mark the occasion and preserve the long history of the “Amber Prix” tournament.

The year 2026 promises to be an exceptional one in the WFF-WBBF sporting calendar – with the World Championships in Nida, the International “World Grand Prix” Tournament and in 2027 the upcoming 60th “Amber Prix” in Klaipėda forming an impressive chain of international sporting events.
