Congrats to Peter Hunt who placed in the Top 6 at IFBB Masters World Champs in Turkey on 11 Dec 10. Peter said there were 17 in the class and it was by far the toughest year yet. He made the first call out of only 4 competitors and that was it. Well done Peter, you done us proud! Watch and read more of Peter in Hunk of Moment Here |

| Here are the prejudging pics of Raechelle Chase competing at Fort Lauderdale Pro in Miami 21 Nov. Apparently Raechelle didn't make it to the night show. We'll have the full story on that soon! We think this is probably the best Raechelle has looked, especially in her legs. Her condition was great and it would've been interesting to see where the judges placed her. |

IFBB Men's Worlds, Baku Azerbijan 3 November. Congrats to Daniel Hibbs who placed 5th at the Men's Worlds. Supry Sos placed 15th. Sanjeev unfortunately had issues with his transporation and arrived late for his class. Consequently he didn't have time to put tan on properly and ran straight onto the lineup. We feel for him after going all that way. left: pic of Rosa Maria Romero with NZ team Supry, Daniel, Moe and Sanjeev. Pic courtesy Rosa! |

IFBB Aus Nationals, Country of Origin 27 October update: We have been hunting high and low for information and/or results from the IFBB Country of Origin that was held in Sydney on 24 October. We think everybody had their phones off over the weekend as we didn't hear boo from anyone! But we didn't give up as we really loved to know what went on since there was going to be a great 'battle' between the aussies and kiwis in the origin as promised in the event poster. |
| We spoke to Eleanor Stewart who was there with her team of boys from the Environment Gym which included Alex Brown, Naki Rasmussen, Puli and Chris Gooch. She said she was happy with how all her boys performed considering they were up against bigger Aussie boys. However, while all the boys did compete against the Aussies in the various classes, they were disasppointed that they weren't actually judged against them. The kiwis infact, competed against other kiwis in the same class so they didn't really go up against the Aussies at all. For example, Chris was the only one in his class but was on stage with the Aussies. He won his class but the Aussie athlete also won the same class. Go Figure! This scenario also played out with the kiwis who competed in the figure and physique classes. The kiwis who did win their classes did go through to participate in the Overalls at the end of the contest on Sunday, however none of the kiwis took that out. We assume this was the 'Country of Origin' part. Interestingly, the kiwis didn't weigh in with the Aussies at their venue but at a gym venue by themselves. She said her and the boys enjoyed the trip and said the show ran well. She also appreciated that Mark had organised accommodation at a great rate for them and gave each athlete $250 Aus each to help with expenses. We reiterate that this isn't an 'official' report but Elle's thoughts on the show. If there are athletes out there who'd like to contribute with their opinion, feel free to email us! Lisa, Go Figure 27 Oct 10. |

28 Sept: NZIFBB Nationals Qualification Clarification
I had the privilege to judge at the Tauranga Event & it was great to see so many Competitors, Sponsors & Audiences supporting & getting behind Kaye & Daryl. The feedback I have, the South Island was also the same. It shows that when you have fantastic Promoters promoting BB events to give & treat Athletes, Sponsors & the General Public what they deserve & with respect, they will show up in force. I had a pit of time to speak to some Athletes, Sponsors & Audiences and were all overwhelmed with Kaye & Daryl's event. I will now have some work cut out to repeat what these great Promoters did with their events. South Island & Tauranga event gave out some fantastic prizes including athletes selected for trips to Australia. I personally would like first & foremost thank Mike, Kaye & Daryl for their hard work, dedication & promoting such fantastic & most enjoyable BB Events to be associated with. I would like to thank all the Athletes for getting behind, competed & in supporting these great Bodybuilding Event Promoters. To all the Sponsors that help these three Promoters to host such unique BB Events, thank you all for your kindness & your sponsorships. To the Audiences, what a great turnout to both Events. Thank you all for your support not only to your family & friends that competed but your show of appreciation to the Promoters & Sponsors.
Note!! We will look forward the Harbour Fitness BB Event in Auckland 9th October at the Auckland Girls Grammar. There will be more great prizes & trips on offer for the Athletes to Aussie.
Take care & wishing you all the very best.
Mark Stewart Auckland Event Promoter. |

Check out Muscleimaging's Earthquake Pics here! NABBA Sth Is. News Due to the earthquake on 4 Sept the NABBA South Island show in Christchurch did not go ahead as the building was off limits due to cracks in roof. There was also no power or water. |

22 Aug: Talent Spotting We've spotted more talent at the Environment Gym. This time its Puli (left) who's looking lean mean as he prepares to compete in the Proformance CNI Champs in Tauranga on 25 September. We believe there's around 7 athletes from the Environment competing in this comp and no doubt the show will attract plenty more athletes from the Bay of Plenty region. |

Neralee 6th 1st and Overall 2nd 3rd 20 June: Congratulations to Neralee Montague who placed 6th in Figure Class 2 at the Nabba Worlds yesterday. In what has been described as a very tough line up of 12 women - Neralee and her husband Ben are very happy as her competition were very impressive.

16 June. Just wanted to allay any fears to athletes competing at the the NABBA Waikato show. The show is still ON so athletes you can still keep training hard and look great for the show! Teresa Edwards tells us there's a big team from the coromandel/Thames as usual and also some athletes from Matamata are giving the Waikato show a go. NB NABBA Shape girls. Reminder that you're not allowed to wear hot pants or a short skirt over your bikini during your routines. Props are fine. |
| 10 June: Shelly Resigns It is with shock and surprise that we received an email from Shelly Boyes saying that she has resigned from organising the NABBA Waikato Body Building Championships scheduled to be held in Hamilton on Saturday, 31 July 2010. Shelly, a long time Waikato promoter and NABBA executive, went further to say that she has "also resigned from her various portfolios and responsibilities with NABBA New Zealand, including the organisation and promotion of the forthcoming and future Waikato Body Building Championships, effective Monday 24 May 2010." Shelly has been a fantastic and efficient organiser of the Waikato show which has grown and grown over the years. We are truely sorry to hear that she's decided to resign and we know athletes will miss her big personality! |
