UKRAINE BODYBUILDING AND FITNESS.
Historically the first representative of Ukraine on International level was VASILIJ BESPALENKO (City Lvov) and that was fourty years in the beginning of seventies. Due to political reasons bodybuilding was prohibited and prosecuted in the USSR. Then VASILIJ BESPALENKO together with other Ukraine Athletes used to participate at the „Amber Prix International“ (1968-2012) in Lithuanian Klaipeda City. In real „Amber Prix International“ was the unofficial USSR Bodybuilding Championship and the World Championship of the Socialist Countries. Proving this the USSR Sport Ministry (Goskomsport) used to give the „USSR Sport Master“ degrees for the „Amber Prix International“ Champions (you can see the documents of this on the International Site www.wff.lt, read articles, find documents in the forum topics „International Bodybuilding Organizations“, „World Oldest Bodybuilding Contest AMBER PRIX INTERNATIONAL“, „World‘s Bodybuilding History. How it was in real“).
During the „perestrojka“ time more and more Ukraine bodybuilders appear and they regularly represent a number of new regions at the „Amber Prix International“. Among them OLEG ZUR and VALERIJ LUCAK.
During the last periodo f time Ukraine at the International activities of the WFF-WBBF International was represented by the National Presidents SPARTAK VASKOVSKIJ and MARGARITA OLEFIRENKO. From 2012 the National President WFF-WBBF Ukraine is OLGA GLADKOVA and she has been recognized by the WFF-WBBF International for this position.
