2026 NEW YEAR!
Celebrating sixty years of the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International Activities and confronting the coming New Year of 2026 - Congratulating Words of the President W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. International DSc. Edmundas Daubaras.
When all international bodybuilding organizations go down the W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International goes on seeking huge goals. W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. plans of great future comparing with other federations. Our great works are observed by lots of people around the World. I am thankful and I am proud of our International W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. family.
W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. is the only one to analize historical and contemporary situation in our sport. Our analytic articles in various languages read lots of athletes. A number of months in a row our official International Site www.wff.lt has 400 000 monthly visitors. Not a single bodybuilding book or magazine has so many readers.
Step by step we separate bodybuilding and fitness. After I.F.B.B. was thrown out of the I.O.C. in 1998 today bodybuilding is no more sport. Instead we aim to make fitness officially recognized sport. This fitness has nothing to do with bodybuilding. Today W.F.F. - International unites many new activities that seek to become real sport. Even Olympic. At the same time International bodybuilding will go on developed and ruled by the World Bodybuilding Federation (W.B.B.F.).
In 2025 we organized the 58-th „Amber Prix International“ („Gintarinis prizas“, 1968 – 2025), the 36-th World AM-Pro Championship, the 30-th Europe Championship and the 26-th „Universe“. Every competition had numerous participants – 200 athletes. Other federacions collect only 20-30 sportsmen at their contests. Over 30 years „Fit-kids“ and disablet athletes use to participate at our events. Contemporary bodybuilding became very narrow. Public is not interested in bodybuilding any more. Even I.F.B.B. Lithuania having comparitivelly big state financing can not collect athletes to competitions and public to see them. 2025 I.F.B.B. World Championship in Saudi Arabia was without public spectators... During the last time I.F.B.B. World Championships were organized in Riga (Latvia) and Kedainiai (Lithuania). Contests were financed by state. Until now even sport specilists do not know much about these contests. The names of their winners are unknown to anybody too. Silent „I.F.B.B. World Championships“...
In 2025 Lithuania celebrated 60 years of bodybuilding. The event was held in Gargzday. A number of Lithuania Parliament members and polititions participated at the happening. Internationally famous athletes were awarded by International W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. President DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS. Athletes of local level were awarded by the organizers too.
The year of 2025 is important of definite dates: 50 years of competitions „Lithuania Cup Open“ (1975 – 2025); 50 years of Czechoslovakian SSR bodybuilders participating at the I.F.B.B. Europe Championship. Bodybuilding was prohibites sport in Socialist Countries in that time. Then led by VOJTECH FIALA Czechoslovakia bodybuilder PETR STACH became the Historic Over All Europe Champion. 60 years of historic competition „Amber Prix Interbnational“ is closer.
In 2025 in Klaipeda International Seminar of Judges was organized. Judges from Germany, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Ukraine participated there.
In 2025 new National federation was registerred in Lithuania – „Lithuania sport fitness federation“. It is totally different of others – it is free of doping. The federation already joined the W.A.D.A. (World Anti Doping Agency) Anti Doping Code. When we will receive Governmental support, in future this National federation will organize Lithuania Championship with doping control.
In 2025 Bodybuilding World farewelled one of Europe Bodybuilding Pioneers VALERIJ KORESHKOV (Валерий Корешков, 1940 – 2025) from Vilnius. For his social work he had many awards and U.N.E.S.C.O. Diploma among them.
We are living in the times of drastic political and economical and social changes. W.F.F. – W.B.B.F. goes on seeking associated membership in United Nations, International Olympic Committee and recognition of fitness as official sport.
HEALTH, SUCCESS, LUCK AND HAPPINESS IN 2026!!!
God bless all of us in our sincere pray!
