Grand Prix Russia 2019 NBC The Results
How was the GRAND PRIX RUSSIA-2019, according to National Bodybuilding Community (NBC) tournament? Above all our expectations!
There were well known athletes and some new faces all in great shape. Many professional sports stars also came to watch the tournament as well as well know figures in show business, Efim Shifrin and Andrei Malakhov. Sergei Kulaev made demonstrations as well. There were many athletes, functionaries of the FBBR, and as one of them said, “It feels like being back at the amateur Olympia in Moscow again – so many people want to go to the gym.” It’s hard to disagree.
We do not know how exactly Viktor Shamin gathered such a large crowd of spectators, but there were a lot of them. Ruslan Khaletsky even admitted that he did not expect such a stir and did not plan to sell GeneticLab products initially but was pleasantly surprised by the demand. Although Viktor Shamin did not really organize the exhibition, but there were several stands around the perimeter of the auditorium.
As for the main event of the exhibition, the athletes, Igor Zyablitsky became the absolute champion in bodybuilding. Azamat Karabashev became the absolute champion in the classic physique and in the category of “bodybuilding, 90kg”, too, and it was a rather hard struggle. Both athletes, together with the other absolute champions, are now going to the amateur Olympia in Spain in early June at the expense of NBC. Going there as a whole team. So, we will have a chance to cheer on Russian athletes in Spain at such a tournament.
By the way, if Azamat would have beaten Igor Zyablitsky in absolute bodybuilding, Viktor Shamin could have saved some money. So, NBC has fair judgement, even when it goes against financial interests. True, we disagree with judging in one of the categories, but we’ll talk about this in another article.
Denis Rombak became the champion in the “Bloggers” nomination. Did the tournament have any flaws? Yes, it did. The beginning of the tournament was delayed for 2 hours. And, perhaps, that’s all. We will talk about the GRAND PRIX RUSSIA-2019 tournament during the whole May. Now get a glimpse of how cool it was. We also recorded a video interview with the head of NBC, Viktor Shamin, and one of NBC’s key functionaries, Yury Melnikov. Do not forget to subscribe to keep in touch!
